Thou swell, thou pretty...
Acid-free and archival ink on 14"x17" Bristol board
It is bittersweet. I finished the drawing that my sister wanted for her own. She likes it, which is good because my other sister does not like it because "it has too much ink." I love my sisters, all five of them. They are so honest and so bold, so caring and loving, faithful and loyal, nurturing and protective. They tell me what they like and what they do not like or what they think. It's been so long since I have been with my sisters and brothers. I love every minute we spend together, even if we argue. We laugh so much, my face and abdomen hurt and I have to catch my breath. I wish we lived near one another. Each one of them remind me of my mother and father. I already miss my sisters and brothers. My sister Leah is so very good. She is such a fighter. She is undergoing treatment for cancer and she is still sharp and tough as nails. She is full of hope and faith. She is swell, and pretty, and witty and very good. We all love her very much. God bless my sisters and brothers especially Leah. Tsup!

"Too much ink!" HAHAHAHA! I love that kind of critique; simple, truthful, even childlike.
Thank you Ma'am, for this glimpse into the life of Ces, I call "Living With Joy"--and for a walk through the park.
Aside from the artistic merit of your blog, the detail in all aspects of creating, working, giving, sharing, is astounding, spiritual...privileged are we who get to share with you in this brief moment of Eternity.
May God bless Leah and all your family. If you are home, Welcome back. PEACE!

Loved your "too much ink" story, and your affection for your sisters. Family is so important. I'll pray for the one with cancer -- it's great medicine when you're all by her side.
Better go buy more ink!
"too much ink", never, there can never be too many Ces squiggles ;)
Your sister is in my prayers Ces and this is truly beautiful.
This is beautiful. I love the magical feel of it.
OH, Ces. I am wishing your sister well from afar. She sounds as fabulous and tough as you. It's wonderful to hear that you laughed so hard your sides hurt..such love in your family - it is so very apparent. Big hugs to you and yours. This piece is beautifully serene to me. I love that your sisters are so honest. We need that so much in our lives..honesty.
Beautiful work - reminds of an antique books with black and white illustrations.
Hey there beautiful! I bet it would touch your Yaya's heart to know that you think about her. That you still have the picture of her hold you. How precious. I'm sure danny would love to have that picture of my mom holding him. I think your Yaya would be super proud to know that you have married and have a family and that you care for others, but that you also inspire others with your wit and beautiful art! She would be super proud of you Ces. I just feel it! How beautiful are these illustrations. They are so full of inspiration and life. How awesome! I miss you so much. Hope that you are doing well. I understand Bella is working hard and hopefully will come up for air soon he he he he he! Tsup darling!
: ) Oh lovely Ces..it's good to see you pop by - I know you are up to your ears/eyeballs in life and work, and loving your family..it's just wonderful to visit you now and again - hope you are being good to yourself too - have you bought that album yet? Do they even sell albums anymore?! I baked an apple pie with my daughters yesterday - I'll save a slice for you. : )
Beautiful!!!
Wow! Extraordinary!
This is amazing work! Your family sound lovely and I hope your sister recovers quickly. Thanks for sharing such talent. :)xx
Your sister is very much in my prayers.
Keep us updated.

Sweet Ces,
I am praying for your dear sister.
With love and Blessings,
Susan
with all my heart, Grandewitch, with all my heart.
You drawing and your story make me think of the lines from that old Roger's and Hammerstein song,
When you Walk through a storm,
hold your head up high
and don't be afraid of the dark,
at the end of the storm
lies a golden sky
and the sweet silver song of the lark
walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain,
though your dreams be tossed and blown,
Walk on, walk on
with hope in your heart
and you'll never walk alone.
Am praying for you and your sister.
Hi Ces, hope you are well
Gorgeous piece Ces!
I pray for your sister's recovery every day. With so many friends that you have praying for her... I'm sure God will listen :)
Beautiful drawing.
