Sunday Sketches



It's that time of the week again.  Crazy how some days fly by without even knowing it!

This week I created something a little different and for my father as it's his birthday (Sunday).  I'm very thankful that he's still here with us - therefore making this birthday an extra special one!

Both pieces are cute, but I think the sketch is better than my watercolour version. Try as I may, I could not get the face on the watercolour to turn out the same.  Grr.  Regardless...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY! =)

    I love both your sketch and the watercolor version... She is so very sweet in her polka-dot dress with your signature heart on it... Love it!

  11. Happy Birthday, Sophia's Dad! I have to disagree about the card, though. I love the watercolor version. It is even sketchier looking, with the double drawn lines, than the sketch version and I think it looks great! There isn't a thing wrong with her face. It's perfect.
