I was searching through some old files and found the folder that holds some of the drawings I did in an art class in around 1977. John and I were married in 1974 and I worked as the school secretary at our local school for a couple of years and then returned to college to complete my education degree. I minored in art, and these drawings were from a drawing class I took during that time. Except for the lower right drawing, which is pen and ink, they are pencil drawings. The adorable dog is our beloved dog, Morty. I drew him from life as he napped on the couch one day. Times have changed and our pets are no longer allowed sofa privileges, but Mort was special. Upper left is a self-portrait but it was done by tracing an image from a slide--so it doesn't count as a freehand drawing. I remember the instructor gave me a "C+" on the drawing of an owl, with the comment that it did not look lifelike. Since he had sent us to the campus museum to draw stuffed animals, I thought that was unfair!
