Shading a Tulip
I took off a long time from art due to some arm pain issues. I’ve recently started sketching again, this time with graphite pencils instead of charcoal. In my drawing lessons, under the watchful eye of my drawing instructor, I’ve shaded a cone, a sphere, and a cylinder. This is my first attempt at shading by myself. I’ll take this to my next lesson for a critique.

The Empty Slot
“Mom, why don’t you get rid of this stuff?” Jordan picked up the rock he painted when he was nine. “You hang onto the past too much.”
“You and Jeff were happy to display your treasures on these shelves.” Susan looked at the boys’ “art” collection, smiling.
“That was a long time ago.” Jordan put the rock back. “You kept that one small slot for yourself, but you never put anything in it.”
“My slot? It was always full, full of things unseen. Love, hope, memories. I imagined it as a resting place for faeries as they watched over you.”
