It is Mothers’ Day today and (after asking permission from Mum) I am posting some  of my drawings of my mum. You would think that after looking at someone all of my life I would be able to draw her, but no, I still cannot capture that essence. 

Happy Mothers’ Day  to all mothers out there and in memory of all mothers.   

My sketches of mum have been done in the last few years and have usually been done when she is visiting or while we are on holidays. I am so very fortunate have my healthy and happy mum in my life and that she has always been there for me. 

This has almost captured her ! It was drawn from a photo. But there was so much use of the eraser to get to this.

(Mother’s Day – where does that apostrophe go ??, there are so many opinions, but it is the reason of the day that is important)
