Drawing Heritage


This is the only drawing I can ever recall seeing my mother draw, or have drawn. I'd broken my wrist playing football in the park with friends. It was my first ever cast, and I was excited for people to sign it. My mother contributed a little curly-headed stick figure with, as I've only just noticed, her right arm in a cast! And signed it, "love love love Mummy'. 

Both of my sisters are talented artists. If I put in some time to practice, I might also improve my technical skills. I have no evidence or memory at all of my father drawing anything, or any other relative. Does this mean I should understand that anything is possible, you just need to have a go (and maybe practice, a lot!)?
