Sunday Sketches... 10 Years Remembered.



This week's Sunday Sketches were inspired by September 11th 2001, the need for more freedom in my drawings, and the belief that art can be therapeutic.

Using Pablo Picasso's "Dove of Peace" drawings as further inspiration, I set a challenge for myself.  I grabbed a stack of index cards and allowing myself only 10 - 15 seconds per drawing, I created my own doves of peace...

10 years, 10 doves of peace.

Sending out tender thoughts of love, peace, and healing to all those affected by 9/11.
