Here's the low down.....this is my Grandson, although I'm not really old enough (ok, it's possible at 45 yrs old) to have grandkids yet and I don't really have access to him and here's why...
I had a daughter when I was 17 yrs old but being so young myself, my best choice was adoption...and so the right parents were found, the papers were signed, and life went on....
In the year 2000, I discovered that my then 18 yr old daughter was beginning the process contacting me thru the adoption agency we used and on her 19th birthday, we were on the way home from picking her up at the Atlanta bus station...

Amazing picture elly and an amazing story. Thanks for sharing this with everyone and acknowledging God in the midst of all that has happened. Only He can provide such strength along with the artistic talent that He has so fully blessed you with. Keep them coming, please!

I'm glad to see other people sharing their stories here. I still have hopes that someday my daughter might be able to locate her son. He's probably married by now, and has kids of his own. Who knows....my daughter might be a "grandmother".......which would make me a "great grandmother".

That's amazing, elly. I like the high contrast!
I was adopted when I was six years old. The adoption agency spent two years trying to find my parents while I was in foster care but had no luck. When I was younger, not knowing who my real mom was constantly bothered me. Nowadays, it's not something I think about but I still want to know. I'd like to find her and ask her all these questions that need answers. I'd hope she could answer them for me. On the other hand, I might be better off not digging around for her. I guess I won't know until I cross that bridge.

drawn in 45 min

Would?

KryosDion (Mar 31, 2009)

You have some great proportion. Your first sketch is rock solid and all work refining it just makes it better and better.

spyra (Apr 1, 2009)

Mmm... This is really hot. Love the textures and details in the face.

S'cuse me, I do that all the time.

backmagicwoman (Apr 10, 2009)

Yeah, I know..but at least your'e a self proclaimed asshole..so it's no big surprise when you do...

IdaLee (Apr 10, 2009)

You guys have all gotten so caught up in this personality clash that you haven't even noticed what an amazing job Flubbles has done on this portrait.

shell (Apr 4, 2010)

So a year ago all this went down. The next time I say something rude I won't feel as original.

Easter Rose

elly (Apr 11, 2009)

I came across these roses not long ago. They're called "Happy Flowers" I think...they've figured out a way to dye them (like they do to carnations) but in multi color! I think they're so pretty...in an odd sort of way. The perfect "Easter Rose" I thought....Have a Happy One!! =)
