My Brothers. 8"x10" Archival ink on 11"x14" Bristol Board
Passion Flower photographed by Dr. Ernesto P. Adorio
I have written this before. You know what a good brother does for me? He reminds me never to lose hope in men. I have two brothers. They remind me that they always have something to offer, that they care and love and are smart and intelligent and a lot of fun, that they will protect me and support me and love me no matter how stoic they are and how they never say how much they love me. I just know that they do. I know they hurt as much as my sisters and I did when we lost our sister. They were there at her bedside when she was ill, constantly, quietly. I sometimes wonder how they felt. I never saw them cry. They just looked in the distance or within. I love my brothers. I love them even though when I was a little girl growing up I mercilessly fought with them under unfair rules. They were not allowed to hit, neither was I but nothing stopped me and I got away with it. It's a good thing they were older because they just had to hold my arm up in the air until a kicked and screamed for them to let me go.
This past weekend, I worked at home for a project implementation. In between work sessions I managed to start a drawing, a tribute to my brothers. I have been looking at my brother Ernesto's photographs of plants and flowers. I hope he likes this and won't complain that I put him and Nonoy Danny in the middle of the garden. My brother Daniel is actually a plant lover and quite a gardener. While I have never seen Ernesto plant anything, he loves to take photographs of plants and flowers and read in the garden. This is my tribute to my brothers.
I broke my brother ukulele once. I don't think I will ever forget that, nor forgive myself. They are both engineers. My brothers never complain about me. They are peaceful men who read a lot. They never criticize me. They only smile at the things I do. Ernesto and I discuss a lot of politics and religion. We argue a lot. I love my brothers. I am so proud of them.

How wonderful to belong to such a big and loving family. Lucky you.
That's a beautiful drawing.
Cela fait de longues minutes que je suis là à admirer ce dernier dessin... Il y a une telle foison de détails, que j'apprécie particulièrement. Je pense que tu as dessiné des oiseaux de paradis...
Ce dessin est un bel hommage à l'amour que tu portes à tes frères.
Je l'aime beaucoup, il est magnifique.
Gros bisous ma chère Ces.
Love Ernesto's Flower-Photo, and of course, above all else, a tribute-drawing of and for your brothers. These are things which make God smile--I'm guessing at that, almost certain. And I'm smiling as I see and read here frequently what the world would be like with more love. The real love, where I put others' needs, desires, and FEELINGS before my own.
"What the World Needs Now...is Love...."
www "What a Wonderful World" because in it are People like Ces and her dishes, family--and friends.
You have such a lovely family. This post makes me miss my siblings. I must send each of them an etegami this week.
Oh, your drawing is incredible, Ces. But of course you already know I'd say that, right? Because all of your drawings are never less than incredible. I can see the love for your brothers in it.
*sigh* I sure miss my brother now.
Hi Ces! You are invited to join the new Monday's Mail ATC group. Nice artwork btw. I have 2 brothers myself :)

This is my Garden of Eden. How utterly beautiful, your flowers and leaves. I spy your passion flower, and it is as wondrous as the photo. I marvel at the sheen and delicate veining in your broad leaves. And your brothers! Surely, two of the finest gentlemen on the face of this earth. What a tender and love filled tribute. Though stoic on the outside, I'm sure they are blooming on the inside at your portrait. TSUP!
will they mind? I can only image that they will smile and love this piece, it is beautiful and overflows with wonderful garden and two brothers. so many memories you have, my memory is not as good. i can feel your family love.
You have such an incredible family Ces. You make me wish that I had brothers. I love the drawing. It is a wonderful tribute to your brothers.
**clapping of many hands** You, my Cesalicious, are the Queen of Detail. Yours is not art to be simply viewed; it calls one into the scene, pulls first the eye and then the body follows, delicately exploring, stepping, inch by inch. I finally got your pictures up in my office; the elephant is above my desk. It makes me happy. Some days I want to crawl into that one, jump up on the elephant and run away. **kisskiss** Deb
OH! Such a wonderful, wonderful tribute to your dear brothers, Ces. You are SO blessed with such a loving and wonderful family. Goodness, this is a beautiful illustration...I know they will love this tribute to pieces! To have such strong and tender men in your life is a fabulous gift. I have two brothers who I lean on a lot..they are awesome and I am blessed too. : ) I hope that this terribly stressful time lifts, Ces! Glad the grumpies resonated with you..it's good to kick the dirt a bit and get some anger out though, right?! Big hugs and a smile for you today, Ces! TSUP!
A very nice tribute to your brothers. I must say I like your new header as well. I hope you´ll have a nice week ahead of you.
