Big Draw #12 making Memories

Big Draw #12. The chair I drew first looking only at the chair, not at the paper, then I filled in with the details. It was fun. ( a blind draw) This is a little child's recliner in our living room for the little kids when they come to visit. Last visit GS figured out that it reclined. He and his sister took turns sitting in it.
It was a great garage sale find a long time ago for $5. That's grandpa's cap on the chair and my mother's needlepoint pillow on there too. A blanket she knit is on the floor next to the chair. Memories from the past and making memories for the future.

    Wow.. you did this not looking at the paper? Very good. I take it you did look at the paper to fill in the details. ? This is from someone who says, I CAN'T DRAW. Piffle. :)) YOU CAN TOO. :))

    Interesting. At first glance I thought the dark shape on the chair was Henry.

    Wonderful drawing. One of my favorites I think. So much family history in this picture. What a trip to find a kid's recliner. What will they think of next.
