Painting to help with some sads today... but I made a card! That's progress. Hoping to get a desk today so I have more room to spread out. This is a new set from Aha Arts that I hadn't had time to ink up before we moved back to the States... I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and sad today so I loved this little melancholy sweetie and had fun with shadows and some wet-into-wet watercoloring on the background. The sentiment is from Power Poppy. Thanks for the sketch challenge! xo Added in the DD keyword, for the line 'when I'm feeling sad' from My Favorite Things.

Sorry you are having the "awful purples"(worse than the blues), but you put your emotions into this poignant card beautifully. May tomorrow be a better day. Hugs.

Awww, I'm sorry you've got the sads, Dina. Hoping it gets better. I imagine you're feeling a little overwhelmed long about now. Sweet little image with your beautiful watercoloring. The sentiment works beautifully with it.

You have sooo captured her melancholy mood, Dina. She drew me in immediately and I had to come take a closer look. Sorry for your similar mood, hope it is just an adjusting thing and passes quickly. Will say a prayer knowing God knows the beginning of the matter from the end. Hugs.
