In the past months I have spent a lot of time copying from photos and children’s books. My favorite book illustrator is Helen Oxenbury. I am learning a lot about line from her marvelous illustrations. 
When I try to really draw, my drawings kind of fall apart. My confidence fails. My drawing regresses. 
Even if I stick with my naive style, I still have to learn a lot more about drawing.

Be patient, let your vision grow, and keep developing the skills of drawing, painting, seeing and feeling…best wishes LR
I don’t find your style naive at all. It takes special talent to do what you do. I absolutely love your work.
Hi Pam,
“It takes a special talent”…. Wow, I’ve spend the afternoon on Flickr looking at trained artist’s work. Your comment came just in time. I hope you are well, Caroline
