Sailor Girl

This is my very first picture, after I started taking lessons from PJ Johnson at the Lakeshore School of Fine Art.. It was either 2004 or 2005, I'm a little fuzzy on timeline during that part of my life.  It is a Prismacolor colored pencil drawing from a photo I took of Katy when she was about five years old.  We were sailing on our old boat,  Callooh! Callay!  The orange and blue blooper made a nice background for the orange life jacket.  It is in a driftwood/barn wood style frame, below.  This photo is after the drawing was framed, so the colors are slightly washed out because of the glass.  The original photo was used on the cover of a local sailing magazine by my friend and editor, Sheila Cullen.
