Sketch A Day Drawing Challenge: Day 188 – Girl in My Dream

The other night I had a dream of a baby girl. I didn’t give birth to this little baby, but I took care of her as if she were my own. I consoled her, fed her, carried her with me everywhere. I asked if her birth mother were coming back for her, but it was unknown. I wished so badly that I could make it official, all she knew was me as her mom and I didn’t want that to end! I named her ‘Abbey’ as Clark and I do plan to name our little girl someday…Sadly, I woke up and the dream was over. Oh my aching heart, I felt like I had lost her and wanted her back so badly! The dream was SO real! ♥ Anyways, though she was a baby in my dream, this is what I imagine her to be a bit more grown up, in this quick sketch… dark color hair like her daddy, curls like her mom & dad, and just the most gentle, sensitive girl 🙂

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
