New Face

 

New Face. (Tomasito photo 2010)

This new Face is only two weeks old.

Some of the older faces I have been posting lately are in their nineties.

Doesn't LIFE do some strange things to our bodies?

The LIFE though--the LIFE in those bodies just seems to go on and on, don't it?

Best wishes, Tomasito.

Kissy-face Dog

Kissy-face Dog

Sometimes unexpected pleasures arrive when we are doing our artwork.

One of the friends of the old-timers at the care facility brought in a very cute little dog and some of the residents went ape over it.

The doggie seemed just as interested in kissing the people!

Lady in Blue

Ready Resident.

Some of the long-time residents stop by to watch and I usually try to lure them into making a few strokes with a pencil or felt-tip pen--not always successfully, of course.

I communicate with this lady with shrugs and smiles and she never had talked to me until I did this quick sketch of her as she watched us work.

She whispered: "That's good".

Wasn't that nice?

Mary Observes

Mary Observes.

Care Center resident Mary stopped by to observe the artists working in our Creative Workshop. This is the first time she has spent any time observing and she seemed to enjoy it because she stayed for over an hour.

Mary never talks but sometimes laughs when she is pleased with something.

She was not to be coaxed into participating at all--maybe next time...
