Carolyn A Pappas

These are some sketches I made from some photos that a friend took for me. I did both of these in colored pencil and I tried to keep my color selection to a minimum. I did enjoy myself and I felt free and expressive. Drawing the water was the most fun. I’m considering doing a version of one of these in watercolor.

I had the urge to go out shopping and buy colorful skirts and new sandals today, but I decided to stay in (to save money). I depend on myself these days and I need to be responsible. When doing the cost benefit analysis, I tend to think that the money would be better spent on some tubes of gouache or some high tech crayons. Making art is way more important to me these days than fashion. I’m not letting myself go entirely though. I’m going to the gym and eating better. So even if my clothes are not in style, I will look good without any on!
