Separated, Illustration Friday


I recently separated myself from the blog for a couple of weeks. Though creating my blog was initially intended as a way to participate in Illustration Friday's weekly challenges, this year I've been blessed with visits from other bloggers who've reached out with their comments; some who drop in periodically and others who faithfully return.
Thanks to all of you! What wonderful gifts of friendship you've shared with me- I feel extremely fortunate to have had the pleasure of meeting all of you by way of blogging and learning about your artistic experiences through your posts. Even more so, that some of you return despite my ramblings and goofy puns. Those couple of weeks went by quickly, without anything to offer for IF, but during that brief intermission, it almost felt like there was a part of me that was missing...
Here's to hoping you enjoy all the best parts of the holiday season! ;o)

  6. Awww Michele, that is SUCH a gorgeous illustration, perfect for a Christmas card. I just love the details and the expression on the guy who has had a mishap with his foot! You are so talented. You have summed up the joys of blogging in your kind words and I feel blessed to count you as a friend!
    Merry Christmas to you and yours and don't be "Separated" any more...I missed your posts.
