Mail Carrier Max tackles his fear

Mail Carrier Max is determined.  When you're a mail carrier, you can't be afraid of dogs.  Unfortunately, Max is terrified of the furry creatures.  But, he won't let his fears stop him from doing what he loves.

Just at the sketch stage right now.  Saving painting for tomorrow.

Rain or shine, snow or sleet, we deliver your mail!

Eeks, dogs!!  Poor Mail Carrier Max.

Best Friends

Butterfly

A friend of a friend has metastasized breast cancer, having gone to her brain.  She's a single mom with two kids.  Having gone through advanced breast cancer myself about five years ago, I can't imagine how she handles it.  I am lucky enough to have a very supportive husband who really picked up the slack when I was out of it.  Having to support kiddos alone, while you are undergoing treatment must be so hard.  I feel for her and her family.    Her friends are having a fundraiser/silent auction to help support her in this difficult time.  This is what I'm donating.  I hope it helps, even if it's just a little.

and in B&W.

Unconditional Love

I love sketching.  It's simple.  It doesn't get cluttered with color.
Just for the fun of it, with no judgement: it feels like a big deep breath of AHHHH.

Just like the love of family.  You're loved.  No matter what.   You don't have to worry that you aren't perfect.  You're just loved because you are you.  I'm so thankful for my family.
