@harveywalls thank you

Here's my submission. I thought of my little grandson who is learning how to dress himself and be independent. Should have done some more sketches, etc. but, I am learning. This was my first attempt.

Every time it is scary to post and to say yes it is done!

@lynn-larson I love the bird... so simple, and cute. Luv the choice of blue!

@harveywalls Thank you so much

Hello! Happy friday everybody!
Here's my entry. I've been too scared to upload it for two weeks, but now it's early morning, and it's easy to be a little bit braver when you don't know what you're doing yet.

My experience of independence is that it can be very lonely. (if you don't do it right.)

@embla You have nothing to fear, beautiful piece. Love your style, you've got great texture. Your main character stands out as the focal point quite nicely. Great job!
