| "Kathleen Francis" by Dayna Winters |
Today I decided to draw a sketch of my mother. I can't believe the flood of memories that goes through your mind when you are drawing someone you knew and loved. My mother passed away from breast cancer when she was 49. The photo I derived the image from is one of my favorite pictures of her. She is looking at something, seemingly pleased, and she is holding up a gorgeous perfume bottle. As I drew the image I realized just how much my daughter looks like her.
The most challenging part of the sketch was getting the eyes just right. I also found doing some of the shading particularly challenging. I think the easiest part of the sketch was the hair, and I didn't have much trouble at all with the nose or mouth when I drew the picture.
