Drawings from 2005 Art Class

I started by drawing a real object

and then changed it 3 times.

To me the opener

represented grapes and vines.

Next I focused on the grape leaf.

Used shapes to represent the grape leaf.

Wonderful Quote

"More than ever, it is the time to share what is good and beautiful in our lives, to reach out to one another with encouragement and support, to remind ourselves and those we connect with that no matter how tough times might be, there is always beauty and goodness to be found. "
