This morning I scanned two original drawings for Christmas cards I produced in the 1970s.
This, before the nativity, is undated, but was drawn from life on scraper board
a couple of years before this Mary and Jesus dated 1976. I took the mother’s profile from a reclining photograph in a book; the rest came from my head. I have left them both – the second with its smudges – as I found them after almost half a century.
Flo, Dillon, and Ellie arrived after lunch. We happily reengaged and all enjoyed penne pasta bolognese, sweetcorn and peas for dinner, with which I finished the Côtes du Rhône Villages and the others drank fruit juice.
Lovely drawings, Derrick! 😊
I am impresses Derrick!
Lovely drawings, Derrick, and how wonderful the grandfamily is there! We shall all be waiting for photos!
Lovely way to begin Christmas week. Hope the rest of the visit is equally marvelous, Derrick.
Wonderful sketches my friend!
Ellie has arrived! Yay! Now the fun begins! 🙂 ❤️

So great that you save your artwork for us to enjoy all these years later!
How wonderful to have Flo, Dillon, and Ellie for a visit! I like the Christmas card drawings. They each have a different feel.
Your artwork is impressive. I am especially moved by the second one. Thank you for sharing these with us.
Beautiful.
Love the sketches, Derrick, especially the one of Mary and Jesus.
Fabulous sketches, and I’m sure your young visitors will keep you entertained, Derrick
