Illustrating During General Conference

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and every 6 months, they have a two day conference.  We watch it on the internet or listen to it on the radio.  In April this year I sketch while I listened.  My sketch book has quotes in it along with a few sketches.  Here's the tape measure that was sitting on the floor under the computer desk that day.

Here's is my daughter's foot.  It was so inspirational, that I drew a conference quote on the side.

I had just gotten some Peerless watercolor papers.  So I colored some of the faces I had drawn from the choir and then I painted a scene. 

The next day, we went to my husband's parents house and I sketched their bookshelf during the afternoon session.  Note the quote in the corner.  The General Authority who said it was quoting his wife.

An Illustrated Life: well for the first few months of 2013

                              I decided I needed a pick me up. So I went through my sketch book
                            scanned in everything that I thought had promise.  I haven't posted for
                            a year so I had lots to choose from.  This one is of a father and child I
                          drew at the doctor's office (probably Jan or Feb 2013).

                         While at my daughter's maturation program, I drew the boy sitting in front of us.
                         Kids don't move much when your talking about important stuff like maturation.
                          hmmm...It looks like I might have drawn a third leg.  Maybe he moved more than
                           I noticed.

                       Every few months, I finally am successful at bribing my 14 yo son to get a hair cut.
                      

                          After reading An Illustrated Life , I went on a sketching spree and sketched
                           lots of objects around my house.  This is one of my favorites.

                                 I was so inspired by the book, I began sketching everything
                                 everywhere I went.
