I thank my lucky stars to be blessed with the guy I've got. At Kingsway Mall last night, Joe gave me some money to pick up some art supplies and such before he left for hockey. $40 no questions asked. I found a sketchbook but it wasn't quite what I wanted, the paper was not quite coarse enough and a little on the light side (50lb I believe--I'm used to about 80lb) but, hey it was pure white and it was a sketchbook. No luck with the pencil sharpener, which was ok becuase i found one at home. No headphones either, ran out of time to look.
Then, today, he took me to Micheals. I found a 70lb drawing book and an ultrafine black pen. As we were leaving the store, I said "Thanks for supporting my habit" in a joking manner. He just looked at me and said "It's something you enjoy and you're finally drawing again." I said, I'm trying to. He said..."No, you are and it's good. The Disney stuff you did last night was really good." (I was doodling while looking at my Snow White pocket coloring book--you could say I'm a child at heart still). He told me, you have a talent, and you might be rusty but the more you practice, the easier it will come.
Is he not the greatest guy ever? He's been so supportive of me in so many ways over the years, it just amazes me that when you think that you know all about someone and then they come out with something that just suprises you. He knows that I've been trying to work out some things lately and he's just, been there through it.
I have done a couple drawings in the last week but just not quite time to post them yet. One, I'm not sure if it's finished and has to be scanned. The other I will post soon I think.
