The Will To Draw: Pastels
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2015/04/pastels.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. If you are like me, you enjoy experimenting with different mediums. I decided to try using soft pastels after watching Lynn Chapman. All in all it was quite enjoyable, and I plan to do more in the future. Below is the video of Lynn creating an illustration in pastels. Posted by Tom Barrett. Hey Tom, nice illustration. When I was in art school we used spray fixative to keep the dust down, and create hard edges. Glad to see you are still drawing, and blogging. 8/1/15, 12:51 PM.

The Will To Draw: July 2014
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Yes, though it may seem that I have once again left the blog-o-sphere, I am still here. I have recently found the time and will to begin working on some art, albeit small and quick and a bit messy. I say messy as I did not stretch or tape the watercolor paper prior to working on it, which makes it a bit difficult to work on the more it curls! I can already tell a difference in my attitude since I started back, so I am looking forward to doing more. Posted by Tom Barrett.

The Will To Draw: February 2015
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. I had hoped to have this more completed before posting, but alas, the day job has to take precedence. Anyway, it is complete enough that that you get the idea. At the top is my initial thumbnail, and on the left is me trying to get the boys' hands correct (hands and hair still give me trouble). My goal is to complete this, along with others, in time for the Don Freeman Grant. Deadline (getting really close). Prayers and encouragement always welcomed! Posted by Tom Barrett.

Pink Evita: Spring Break
http://twoladybugs.blogspot.com/2012/04/spring-break.html
Friday, April 06, 2012. Admittedly, Spring Break did not used to be so fun. The kids were little and traveling was sort of like riding a roller coaster with cats. But then a miraculous thing happened. The grew up a bit. They like to travel, they are excited to learn new things in different cities and are willing to forego their favorite home meal in lieu of strange and wonderous things on a dim sum menu. Now that is my idea of good times during spring break! Love the photos, Perrin! 5 more Minutes Please.

Pink Evita: December 2010
http://twoladybugs.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 27, 2010. I barked while our girls incessantly fought over who was winning at tic-tac-toe. He sort of sniffed and said, "Look around this room, see all the people with teenage and college aged kids? They are our age! May I never get too old to think it is funny when the Polar Bear is shooting the Tiger who is wearing mismatched Pony pants. I understand that some might think this is twisted. But, then again don't old ladies get to have their eccentricities? Monday, December 20, 2010.

Pink Evita: The Craft Casserole
http://twoladybugs.blogspot.com/2012/04/craft-casserole.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2012. This morning I went to craft class. I'm all for school if it is filled with coffee, friendly ladies, and crafty goodness. We made fabric rosettes. I think I might be making them and putting them on everything now. Strips of scrap fabric and a glue gun, heavenly time and my idea of sheer bliss. First fabric rosette project, an embellished headband. Ava saw it and immediately claimed it as her own. That didn't take long. Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. View my complete profile.
