On being a Grandmother

Anyone who is one knows that there are joyful opportunities and sacred privileges in being a grandparent. Over the years I have experienced more than a few of these special moments. Sometimes they is exist only in a shared photograph. That’s how I felt when I first saw this photograph of my grandson almost ten years ago.

Now as I begin to train myself in drawing and painting, I experience the profound pleasure of reproducing this moment in media.

My first sketch of Henry and Cat:

It warmed my heart to make this image. Thanks to my daughter and son-in-law for capturing the moment and sharing it.

One of six children, I was raised by a busy mom, who instilled in me a love of fabric. Though I learned to sew and knit at a young age, it was the arrival of my first grandchild that pushed me into action. A long-time knitter, I am now ready to explore all things fiber.
