Ten months. TEN months since I've been here. But I'm working on a couple of things. I am a bit rusty. But here is my first go after all this time.
.
The lyrics are from the song "Sara". They're a little hard to read.
They are:
.
I can still see them playing with their pails in the sand.
They run to the water, their buckets to fill.
I can still see the shells falling out of their hands,
As they follow each other in back of the hill.

Que de châteaux de sable... ou que d'enfants!
Toujours est-il que l'ensemble donne une belle note de vie à ce dessin.

This is spectacular, Ellen.

Woohoo!! Welcome Back!! I REFUSED to erase my link to you on my blog.
Where is the rust?! I don't see it. The spread is wonderful - it is a great depiction of the lyrics. I am amazed that it looks just like a blackboard. How did you do that?
So glad to have you back!
Dan
Awesome look! Love the words, colors etc.
What a beautiful return!! Gorgeous pages!!
Great spread, good to see an update on my dashboard..... welcome back!
Welcome back! I love this little piece. The colors, the old fashioned pails, and the words - wonderful! nancy

Dan, I thank you sir! I have been deleted in more places than I care to remember! haha! Thanks for keeping me on your list! And for the welcome. The pastel look comes from painting a ground of clear gesso and a couple of coats of black acrylic paint. It is tough as can be once those coats dry. The drawing is done with Prismacolor pencils and when it seems too waxy after the buildup of layers, it's usually better the next day and takes more layers. If not, I spray it all with a light coat of Krylon MatteFinish spray and it's ready again.
