Illustration Friday: 1 : Remember when our children were young?

This is a post resulting from one of my memories. It was dug up from my personal archives. I wanted to share this...
My daughter, a moment in time captured,... me... now remembering, her, in this poignant moment . She was remembering something that didnt quite make her happy while all dressed up to go onstage.




This was done with a light acrylic wash and chalk pastel.

Oh, oh! Someone's in a closed and sulky mood. Janice, you've captured the expression perfectly. An interesting mix of medium as well. I look forward to your next posting.

Nice! Intence and sweet. Really makes me want to know what's on her mind, and I like the colors, especially her hair.

Beautiful and moody. Reminds me of my own daughter who is now 30.

Very sweet. My son's only nine, but whenever I think about him, the line "And then one day you find/ ten years have got behind you" from Pink Floyd's "Time" comes to mind!
