Just Because

I was brave again today! There is a wonderful Website that a friend told me about, http://www.differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/, in which a photo is posted and artists create their own interpretation of that photo. I really liked the current one, an evening shot of the Jefferson Memorial, and I sketched it.

I am in no way an artist. My drawing style has been called childish (it was meant as a compliment). I can't really do perspective and dimensions, just very simple lines. So it took a lot of courage to send it, but I'm happy that I did. My son helped me scan and post it. We shall see if it is actually posted on her site.

And thanks to CLO for telling me about the site.

I love your drawing and I'm proud of you for joining the challenge. There are ALL kinds of artwork on the site, folk art, you name it... as you know. Welcome to DSFDF, Ms. Garland!

Thanks! I just went to the site, and Diane Morgan also put in a moon and star. :) She did a great job. The dome of the Jefferson reminded me of a UFO, and I could tell from the photo that the stars would be visible soon. We'll see if I do another one, but this was fun!
