Art and Crafts

One of my old drawings, colored pencil on Mylar. This was in Murau, Steiermark, Austria, 2005. In the picture are my stepfather (front) and my husband in the red jacket.

Winter in St. Lambrecht, Styria, Austria. I drew this in 2000 to use as a Christmas card. A couple from Austria bought the original drawing. As a nine-year old I was in this church many Sunday mornings with my Aunt Grete. The floor in the narthex is covered with carved stone monuments of influential dignitaries and priests of Austria. My Aunt and Uncle's house was a few hundred feet away from the monastery. (My uncle was a men's tailor and his specialty was Austrian costumes.) de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stift_St._Lambrecht

I photographed this drawing I did with colored pencil on Mylar. I don't remember how many hours it took to draw the details of the dress, but it was a project of many days. The drawing is only 6 inches by 8 inches tall.

My granddaughter, the dance teacher with a BA in Biology and a minor in dance.
