Sick child

One of the biggest fears you have as a parent is when your child becomes sick or ill. I know that my child must meet some hardship as a child, or it will brake him as an adult. That he need the experience too learn that he will pull through, and become stronger. There is still that little voice in my head that fears the worst.

Even though I know this to be the case, I do get the irrational feelings and fears the worst; what if it is not all goes well? I know that people, children included, is put in anaesthesia every day. But as a parent I have that feeling what if... This occupies most of your thoughts until you know your child is safe.

The illo of my youngest son Zack, how I saw him when we was waiting for him to wake from anaesthesia. He is doing fine now.

Medium used: charcoal, pastel and pencil.

Art journal - playing dirty

I got this mail where the subject was "Monika and Cindy, Playing dirty" Silly me thinking it was something related to children's play. This mail was the start of a long row of spam. For years my mail address have been flying under the spam radar. I realise I have been lucky. There is now more than 200 mail a day that is marked with spam, sadly some mail that is not spam also comes in my spam folder so I have to go through the spam folder to check that it is correct. No, I don't open the mails I just skim the headlines and the sender.

I have started the new job and guess what they are playing dirty there... Or at least they play in the dirt, it has been raining for a couple of days an the children are loving the puddles. They make beautiful mud-cakes.

Medium used: watercolour pencil, watersoluble wax pastel and permanent marker.
