Just for Fun



I find that one of the most relaxing things to do is draw. Well, playing soccer is a close one too. Drawing is something I haven't had much time to do, but this past Monday I stayed home with Claire and decided to do a little drawing with her since she is into that right now. We had such a good time. I used to do a lot of pencil drawings back when I was in high school. Often times I would draw my teachers...not very good at that. One of the things I enjoyed drawing the most was a rose. I grew up around many roses despite living in a desert. It was my job at home to care for them, and I have grown to appreciate roses not just for their beauty but for ability to graft into each other and slightly change colors. Pencil drawings just don't this justice.

Did you really post at 10:18 am? If so, you beat me. Good Job. :)
Your drawing is amazing! I never knew that you were an artist. Cool talent Jon.
