In between cooking, shopping, doing laundry, washing dishes, changing nappies and schooling my children I sometimes find a spare moment to doodle, draw or photograph something or someone. Those are the moments that keep me going, even if they are few and far between. Food for the artist mom’s soul.

    Stupendous! And I cannot believe you actually have a teenager for a son! You are much too young! Hopefully he will not age you before your time as mine did! Glorious image of a beautiful young man…love the linen like texture! It’s the perfect touch!

  • Lol – I have 3 teenage sons!! they’re great. Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Karen!

    I just read that you have THREE teenage sons! I am stunned and amazed! You look so young…it simply seems impossible! Plus…quite pretty as well. Clearly these beautiful boys have treated their wonderful mom with love and respect….well earned, I’m certain!

  • Lol!! your comments always make me smile! You know, i did cheat a little and adopted two of my three teenage boys… (this one was 7 and the other, Jacob, was 11 when their mom died.) And my third teenage son is my stepson… so you see, I personally have only given birth to 6 children (four girls, two boys) although I am expecting another little boy come December. And I did start on the young side… just before I turned 20. : )
