This pastel was drawn on a brown paper bag to wrap a birthday present when I worked at Mount St. Helens back in the 1990s.
Sally from The (Mis) Adventures of Karl and Sally has started a new meme where the past is remembered through sharing old family photographs and this is #16. I love the idea and hope you will too. So join the fun by clicking here.
And you no longer do?!?! If I could draw like that I'd be doing it all the time!
You are very talented! Thanks for letting us see it too.
Beautiful! And what a great idea for wrapping presents.
Wow, your wrapping is a gift in itself. Beautiful!
Sunny 🙂
Very nice. Get those brown bags (if you can find any) and pastels out again. We are expecting some art work from you.
Gaelyn: You should not say used to and say I still draw. That is beautiful.
Wow! You are quite an artist!
It looks like the volcano is relaxed and is smoking a cigarette after having gotten mad and blowing its top off.
With its insides exposed for all to see, it expresses easily that which arises, and gentleness reigns the day.
That's beautiful! I hope you haven't given up drawing when you have so much talent.
You are very gifted! That is a beautiful picture. Keep drawing.
I guess we all want to know–do you still draw? You have amazing talent.
Wrapping paper has never been more beautiful. Never.
Gaelyn,
Hope to see more of pastel mountains from your hand!!! (pastel is great in such extreme weather conditions, and it can't spill!)
Lovely work!
What a talented lady you are Gaelyn!! This is beautiful!!
Did you do the beautiful Mt. St. Helen drawing? A time we all remember. big news eh? MB
What a wonderful way to capture your world! Well done. I love it.
A gorgeous wrapping. I hope you will take it up again sometime, it's quite evocative.
It really is lovely, Gaelyn. Somehow it doesn't surprise me that you can draw.
Gaelyn, that is beautiful! Do you still draw? Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us.
Blessings and smiles
