A New Day, A Different Way The creative and photographic endeavours of a woman trying to add color and beauty to her world.

Part of me says that it is incredibly silly for me to be celebrating this simple little drawing but I have to say I just can't help myself.  My mother and grandmother are very artistic and have painted for years but in the past I have tried my hand a drawing a few times with sorry results.  Due to this I really have no idea why I picked up a package of charcol pencils the other day when I was shopping but I did. 

The pencils sat on my desk mocking me for about a week before I picked them up, I had an idea of what I wanted to draw so I sat down and within a few minutes created the picture you see above.  I have to admit I was kind of thrilled with it.  The fact that I had an idea in my head that I was able to put down on paper even if it was poorly done.

Now when I sit here trying to decide if I should actually post this because when I really look at it I think a 6 year old could draw as well as that but my thought it "what the heck".  I can draw!  Not very well, I have ordered a couple of how to books but this really isn't something I ever thought I could do so I am going to celebrate it.
