one day I was shopping and heard thunder the same time I saw lightning and thought boy that was close, when I got home my husband and 3 kids had that same look on their faces, they had been placing a metal ladder against the house when the lightning struck the roof and ladder. they let go just in time

I was rinsing a fork off during a storm and a ball of lightning..that's the only way I can explain it because it was round, came through the window and stopped at the sink. I had a few friends with me, so I wasn't the only one who saw it.. Clap of thunder, the ball of lightning, and gone. It was freaky and very scary so I can imagine your husband and kids.

that sounds scary as well

Lots of personality, hope you get unstuck soon :)

red hair is cool.....I like her expression, and I like that cute little braid in her hair....:)

thank you :)

She's carrying a soiled diaper at arm's length with her thumb and forefinger and has turned her face away from the stench?..great expression

Great depiction of disgust or extreme disdain. Or maybe she's got a terrific itch in her nose and she's just about to sneeze.

haha ;p

Well drawn!

Thanks, Nik!

Thank you. :)

you have some serious ability to do something like this

oh gosh, no, but thank you.

In the end Firecracker beat him to death with a big inflatable apostrophe and buried him in the back yard...he had it coming so he did.

I'm thrilled when a drawing brings out comments more than just the "OMG i love it!" comments. I just posted one that may stir emotions but that's not what mine was intended for. This one, Sunny, evokes many emotions I'm sure! It's deep, and it's bright and eye grabbing to get your attention! VERY well done!
Fire, you are a strong person. First, to have survived all the physical and emotional pain you've gone thru, and second, to be able to share it! Blessings to you, my friend =)

Thanks Lori and Elly.....I'm glad that all those bad memories are all behind me now,,,,,but actually it was my daughter who suffered the most pain more so than me. When my husband would get drunk,,,,he seemed to focus all his anger on our daughter, and she was only about 12 or maybe 13 yrs old when he really beat her up badly. He had a dr jekyll and mr hyde type of personality. My daughter is all grown up now and she is a "survivor", and in spite of all the disgusting things that he did,,,,,she still loves him.....I don't understand that, but that's how she feels. He died a few years ago, and I'm certain that he is not in Heaven. And "Noooo flubadub".....I didn't hit him with a giant apostrophe.....only you could come up with something like that...."lol". But I do have a lot of good memories of my time with him.....but the bad ones overshadow the good ones. I blame it all on alcohol.....he would turn into a "mr hyde" when he'd get drunk. Anyways......talking about this just brings back a lot of bad memories that I try to block out of my mind, so I'm not gonna say any more about it....it's all in the past, and he isn't here anymore.

Appreciate that, lori, thanks.

You do human drawings with such passion and it shows. Whether a person uses a few strokes or a few hundred, the end portrait shows the artists heart, this one captures yours.

Thank you very much!
