Happy Drawing Day! (A Story of my mother and me)

My mother was a great artist, and when I was young I was sent to drawing school, where my instructor spent her time largely demonstrating how to sleep, and where I taught myself how to draw.  In high school, assignments gave me the opportunity to reach the prime (so far) of my artistic abilities.  After I moved out to BC for university, the hustle and bustle of life took over.  Today, on Drawing Day, also known as Pencil Day, I'm going on a search for that person.

I once spent $300 on Sandylion stickers and made God.

Navigli, Italy.
Midday Nap repro.
Indian ink.
Georgianne de 3P, with oxygen cannulas.
Vivian on Valentines.

I haven't picked up a pencil or brush in so many years, but I'm determined to draw that person out of me again.
