If......You could go back in time, if there was a magical time machine and you could go back in time to your childhood, would you? Would you want to start all over again, knowing what you know now?
And the second half of my question to you is......Would you do it differently or was your childhood perfect the way it was?
Think about it. You can share your thoughts on this if you want or, just keep them to yourself. It's your choice. I just thought I'd ask, it's just food for thought.
Which leads me to this, my new project.
I have started a new series of art drawings. I haven't created a series in a long time and this idea piqued my interest. A series is a collection of paintings or in this case drawings, all centered around a specific theme. I am calling this series, "Child's Play" and.....I would like to involve you, my viewers.
By now, you have all most likely seen this drawing titled "The Tree Hugger" up on my Facebook feed and here on my blog as well as on Twitter and Instagram.
"The Tree Hugger" is the first drawing in my new series. At this time, I have no idea how many drawings I will create for this series. It might be ongoing for quite a while.
Now this is the part that y'all might be able to participate in..........................
Here is a sketch of the second drawing in the series. It's just the initial sketch and I know it's hard to see but I think this is going to make a great drawing! The reference for this drawing comes from Cynde Sawyer. Thanks Cynde, It's a beautiful photograph!
So far, this one is untitled. I will be posting updates up on social media as I work on it. Now, here's what all of you can do.................
Y'all can submit your photos of the children in your life, doing what they do best.....being children, to become original drawings. I will choose, at random, the ones to be added to this series. I will need your permission to post the work in progress photos and the finished drawings up on social media. I will also reserve the copyrights to the work which basically means that I can use said pieces for promotional purposes. You will receive credit for your photo if I use it. Will these drawings be available for you to purchase?.....Of course! Everything I create is available for purchase but, keep in mind that there is no obligation to do so. You will just have the pleasure to see loved ones drawn. Please send clear, crisp, sharp photos only, as I will have to discard any that are out of focus or undecipherable . You do not have to worry about the size. You can send as many as you like. You can email them to me at ......
Ellenbelshin@ymail.com
I will choose my favorites from these submissions to become a part of the series. So what do y'all say? are you game?
Other than that...........I do have a couple commissions to still work on and my hubby, who is a very good artist himself, has also commissioned me. I will be sharing more information on his request here on my blog later.
That's all for now. Please consider joining in on the fun. I can't wait to see the submissions!
