Thanks 🙂 I expect I enjoyed drawing this picture, although I used to get a bit frustrated with recalcitrant waxy colouring pencils on cheap school book paper! I got marked 9/10 for this picture.

Forgot to say that it’s probably better than I could do. 🙂

From what I’ve seen, your drawing is definitely better than that done by my 8 year-old self! To make a comparison, I’d need to see a sample of one of your drawings from childhood!

Haha I think my parents threw them all away. 😦

My mother recently presented me with a pile of of my old school books that she’d kept. It was very entertaining going through them. The ones for maths were less than impressive, though.

My mom wasn’t so sentimental. Maybe it was a good thing. 😀

Art was my favourite subject at school 🙂

Writing mine but mom kept sending me to these free art classes. They were fun but I don’t think I have much of an art talent.

I liked doing writing in my free time. Wasn’t so keen on doing it in class, as there were too many blocks put in the way of my free expression! Same goes for set books for Literature classes — not my kind of reading most of the time.

It’s very good Sarah, you’ve really captured the spirit of the cow – I’ll bet you developed into a good artist!

I was a little frustrated about not being allowed to go to art school. Domestic science college was thought a more suitable alternative, although it didn’t happen! (hah, does that remind you of a certain conversation in Desiccation, between Miss Dandridge and Samantha’s father?)

Udderly delightful. I know, sorry, I had to say it. But seriously Sarah, you drew this at 8? You have a natural artistic talent you know. I love this. Do you still draw? You should, if not. Hope you’re feeling bettter, big hugs… xxxx

I haven’t done any drawing for ages, Sherri, but if I ever find indie publishing too stressful, I’ll take up art again, as it’s so very relaxing. Yes, I’m feeling much better, thank you, my dear friend xxxx

For an eight years old it is a fine drawing. You might illustrate this blog now and then. You definitely have a talent.

I’m probably rather rusty at painting and drawing by now. Have been concentrating on my writing and, to a lesser extent, on music. If only I didn’t need to sleep, then I’d have 24 hours a day to be creative in numerous directions, instead of having to fine down my choice!
