Novel & Cerita Grandma Drawing

“I always wondered about it. Even before any of this. It just felt like it meant something, even when I didn’t know what.” Cloe looked at the drawing properly now, at the house, at the careful row of figures, and felt something settle into place, slow and enormous, the way everything had settled this week. “Priya,” she said gently. “Do you know how old your grandmother was when she drew this.” “There’s a date on the back,” Priya said. “She was seven.” “Seven,” Cloe repeated softly. She looked at Dave. “Dave. How old were you when you drew your first chair plan.”

I suggested as I held the board to myself. “Hey, You worked so hard to draw that, you should at least let him see what you did.” Jeremy smiled at me and encouraged while glaring at the elderly man that just spoke to me. “Yes, Bring it. I will be the one to judge that since it is my drawing.” Grandpa Haven smiled at me as I took the board and walked over to his side and then placed it in front of him where he could see it. Everyone gathered and looked at the drawing, I stood there with my heart trying to beat out of my chest, while I really hoped that he would like it. Only if the ground can open up and swallow e saving me from this predicament.

I feel more free here because it offers me the promise of a fresh start where as Massachusetts keeps me rooted in the past. I have my sketch book in my hand and I have already drawn the sunset behind the trees. I am working on a portrait of all of my relatives that I was just with. I started with Uncle Zeke, wanting to catch is infectious grin on paper. Uncle Jack, with his frown, is another focal point I want to make sure I get right. I got the look of pure elation and contentment on Grandma's face at being surrounded by all of her family.

He let out a long breath more than once, even as he continued chewing his breakfast. Grace sat beside Nathan, her small feet gently swinging beneath the table. One hand busied itself spreading jam over her toast, while most of her attention went into the little stories she shared nonstop. “Grandma,” Grace said brightly, “I have drawing class today. My teacher said my drawings are getting neater.”

To make sure she was real. On the fourth day, I brought my best drawing. It was a picture of all of us — me, Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma — standing in the garden with butterflies everywhere. I had drawn Grandma with strong colors so she wouldn’t look sick. I held it behind my back when I finally walked inside. “I made this for you,” I said, pushing the paper toward her quickly before I could change my mind. Grandma Eliana took it with both hands like it was made of glass. Her eyes got shiny the way Mommy’s do sometimes.

I do similar ones of Michael to give to Carrie and one for Zuri but with a lion for the family. I then move on to the drawings for Christmas. For grandma Calista I draw a portrait of grandpa Thierry and her with all the current grandkids. I know she’ll love it. I make sure to leave room for more grandkids. I stare at grandpa Thierry and look at my other drawings. We’ve had a lot of loss in this family.

Ariane’s POV Meanwhile, Zoya sat beside me, still looking worried. "Mom, will Grandma be okay while drawing? She looks very tired." I nodded, trying to reassure my sister. "Grandma just needs a little time to rest. Drawing can be a good way to help her feel better. We can all help." Zara had started drawing, creating her imaginary world on paper. She drew bright-colored flowers and a blue sky, occasionally glancing at her grandmother. "Grandma, look! This is the flower I made. Do you like it?"

I find Grandma in the kitchen. “She’s leaving,” I say quietly . Grandma looks up from her coffee . “You stop her?” “I tried.” She sets the cup down. “Try harder.” I nod. Leo runs in, waving a drawing. “Daddy, look! I made our family!” Three stick figures, Tall one with dark hair. Shorter one with long hair, Small one in the middle holding both hands. I swallow hard. “It’s perfect, Captain.” He beams. Elena walks in, sees the drawing, smiles too bright.

I was going through some usual posts on my i*******m when I saw a beautiful drawing made by someone. And then I got an idea. Why don't I spend my time painting? To be honest, painting and sketching was on the list of my very less talents and I loved doing it. Once, when I had been small, Grandma had given me an art kit. It had a sketch book, colors, paints, markers, brushes and everything a person interested in art needed.

"I saw this really beautiful hallway on the internet and I kind of like the same design, Elowen. Here, let me show you." She showed me her phone and I found it adorable how she's not an expert in using it. She showed me the acrylic paintings she wanted. "Uhm, will it be too much if I ask you to paint one for grandma? I want one with me, the king, my husband and our other children. But some of them are no longer here. Is that possible, dear?" "Of course, grandma," I agreed without thinking twice. "I will do it for you. Just tell me what you want it to look like."
