A couple of old sketches...

The rose was drawn for my Grandma when I was 17.

This was drawn from a photo that my Mother-in-law's sister took. This is of my Mother-in-law. I think she was in her early twenties in this picture. I drew this for my Mother-in-law as a Christmas gift after Chris and I got engaged over five years ago.

On my wedding day...
