The topic for Illustration Friday was Thanksgiving. Instead of the US holiday, I thought of the more general concept of giving thanks.
My grandmother and my mom both had/have low pressure glaucoma. It's hereditery, so I might get it, too. Every year I have my eyes tested, and each time I'm especially thankful when they are still ok.
I'm grateful that I can see the beauty of nature, art, etc.

The choice is clear

The topic for Illustration Friday this week is "Clear". It was easy to come up with the concept, but a lot harder to illustrate it.

The topic for Illustration Friday was "wind" which reminded me of wind instruments. This is my first submission for Illustration Friday (last week I didn't make it in time). It's also the first time I have used my watercolor pencils. I like them a lot!
