Baby Time Drawings by Kathy Michels






As I sit here getting all my artwork organized I ran across these two drawings. They were so fun to do for a little practice. When our youngest son flew the coop a few years ago we joined the rank of empty nesters. It was then that I started devoting as much time as possible to my art.
I still love every minute of it. I have seen people start drawing and painting after they retired at 60, 70 and 80 years old. The work they put out was just breathtaking. You can never be too young or too old to pick up a paint brush. I did these drawings as I began practicing baby features. This was at a time when I was meeting these retirees who were such an inspiration.

Excellent baby "tootsies"--I remember them well--great yawn, as well.

These are terrific drawings, Kathy. I am fortunate to have some of those inspirational retirees in my classes - they have never painted before, and their work is phenomenal!
