I have been so inspired by the artists I’ve met on the blogs I love! (an inspiring view of the sky today!)
I have a whole list in my favorites…just for artists! And I am blessed to have many artists in my family! My sister is amazing…and all four of my sons are gifted. I would like to do a whole post on my sons and their art soon.
My grand kids are all interested in art, too and my grand daughter gave me an art lesson when they were here, teaching me some techniques she is learning in the art lessons she is taking. (we worked on trees…mine is a little sparse!)
I would like to give a special thank you to Carmelina at Creative Carmelina for giving me advice on buying drawing pens. She told me exactly what she uses and where she buys them….and I took my coupon to Michaels and got a great deal on them.
They are so smooth and easy to use that they glide over the page.
I know I need practice but I am going to try to spend the summer enjoying my art!
Thanks to ALL of you talented and creative ladies that inspire me every day with your wonderful blogs! What a difference you make in my life! Wish I could give you all a HUG!
Do you have any special creative projects you are working on this summer?

I'm always inspired by artists, not that I am one, maybe a little bit, or at least I used to be..., I just admire the pursuit of self expression..., which to me is self love. And you are very talented!!
Oh I love your sketches, the bird is wonderful and the little girls - they should definitely be dolls!!! I love art through and through - you have inspired me today -thank you!
XOXO Jess
I think that your sketches are wonderful. Keep drawing, it looks like you are having fun!
And yes, that Cupid's Dart on my blog today is stunning. Don't know why I have never seen it before.

Hi there I see you draw too, your drawings are so cute especially the little girls such cute faces they are the most difficult, I like water colors.
What fun to peek into your sketchbooks! Looks like you've found a wonderful way to express your creativity. Can't wait to see what comes out next!
I know what you mean,this blog world of ours has introduced me to so many wonderful art souls and I too am thankful.
I am looking forward to seeing the post on your kids art..
Have a wonderful day!Cat
How did your sweet cousin not know that you could draw? I don't think I ever saw you draw when we were kids, only Delores. I'm impressed and jealous :) Love you!
I love your sketches! Brilliant! Suie xxx
Hi Diane,
You are amazing and so very talented at everything and these drawings are incredible. You should really continue as you have so much to give and so much inspiration to share.
I love the bird and the little ones sketch is too darling right down to her little dress slipping off the shoulder.
Love the sky pic too.
Thank you for sharing your heart through the drawings. Looking forward to seeing more!!
Thank you for stopping by and entering my giveaway. Good Luck my friend.

You are well on your way! Your drawings are very nice...
Such nice sketches! We'd like to see more when you'd like to share. :)
I agree, I've also learned so many hints regarding hobbies that I have after I started blogging. So many nice ideas are shared.
I also always enjoy your visits to my blog!

Hi Diane,
I love your sweet sketches, and glad that you are having fun doing this.
I think it is always great to have good pens and pencils.
The fluffy clouds look lovely.

Oo i love your sketches, especially the one of the bird! I wish I could draw like that. I have some of those pens too, but they are still sitting in the package...a lot of good that is doing, but I get intimidated. Anyway, I saw your blackberry cobbler earlier, and my mother taught me that same recipe! I make it all the time for my hubby! So much better with fresh berries huh?
Hugs, Becca
Oh Diane, your drawings are so cute. I hope you do a post on your son's talents as I would love to read (and see) it.
I'm afraid my drawing skills are limited to stick people. My son, however, does having a talent for drawing, but he can't be bothered.
Diane your drawings are wonderful! I'd love to see more in the future and also your son's work. I also enjoy Carmelina's blog ..she is so creative!
