Tiny Dancer

I just came across a blog by Valerie Sjobin - I love her artwork! She combines words and doodles and color to create beautiful art journals. I'd really like to attend one of her workshops.

When I take the time to sit down and copy a favorite verse, song, or quote, somehow I become more calm and focused. All of the worries that may fill the rest of my life seem to fade into the background.

So then I continue on... doodling around the words, making quirky designs and patterns, adding color, until I complete something I like.

The picture I've attached here, is one of those. Once I finished it, I realized that it reminded me of my oldest son. He was always my tiny dancer.
