Progress

       This post is in commemoration to the many, many....many pictures I have drawn from the ages of 0 though now (16). Today, I decided to count the drawings I have archived over the years and it amounted to about 617...(yes I counted them all). It is amazing for me to think of what progress has been made in my work and I wanted to share a few of my older pieces with you all for no particular reason other than for the sake of a few giggles and some fun memories...
This is an early work I drew of my younger brother. Hehe! I scrawled this onto a pad of note paper at the age of 3...adorable right? My keen sense of style and beauty was developed at a very young age!

When I got to the age of 5, I was addicted to the white board. This is a picture of me and another drawing I completed. That horse badly needs some arthritis medicine. And a face transplant.

Later on in my adventurous 7th year of life...I drew this work horse.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life went on. And so did my artwork. I could not stay 7 forever...so I grew up (a bit). This drawing of a mountain lion chasing a horse was done at the ripe old age of 12. (yes it is okay to laugh)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRESS!!!! PERSPECTIVE!!! FINALLY!...maybe...a little. I dunno. This drawing of a cowboy was done when I was 13.

YESYESYES!!!! I love this one. This fantasy-ish pen drawing somehow appeared on the paper I was scribbling on at the age of 14....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And this leads to the very first acrylic painting I completed when I was 14 under the patient guidance of my art teacher, Bonnie.
The Lord has been so good to me in providing art lessons and advice at just the right times. My art is a journey and it continues to be. I hope my artwork gets even ten times better than it is now in the next sixteen years:)
