drawing – Jill Millward Artwork

Every week we sit behind the same family at church and this little doll peeks over the pew and gives us her shy smile. Today I sketched her doing it. She is seriously cute. The sketch isn’t perfect because I didn’t measure anything, but for the most part it looks like her.

Dude on the Beach

Tough guy on the beach. Probably watching his 3 year old. Painting soon to come.

The Work of Sammy Millward!

I’ve spotlighted the work of my 2 other kids, today it’s Sammy’s turn. Hold on to your seat, Sammy is an awesome dude.

He would wow his preschoolContinue reading “The Work of Sammy Millward!”
