I went to an art supply store today and purchased a brand new set of artist's pencils...


Yes, that is my little darling Sophia...




I loved drawing dragons when I was in high school. It felt great to get back to that.

From todays sketchbook...







Drawn from one of the senior portraits that I shot last fall.

Some doodles from yesterday...





enjoy...

...or not...

...I guess it would be a matter of opinion.

Funny incident today at Ooey Gooey.

Apparently Sophia took it upon herself this morning to check all the other kids in the class to make sure they hadn't pooped. She would walk up behind the unsuspecting child, pull down the back of their diaper and if she found no poop she'd say, "No poopies, ok" and move on to the next child.

He teachers, while not encouraging it, found it hysterical and made sure to let me know when I picked her up this afternoon.

Oh, and I almost forgot...her mission to find poopies was, thankfully, unsuccessful.

I really think it's true. I really do believe that my dear little sweet Sophia has started a cult at school.

The other day I brought her in, got her settled in the morning room, gave her a banana and went to put away her stuff. When I returned to give her the rest of her breakfast I found her sitting quietly, eating her banana with a smug little satisfied smile on her face, surrounded by 3 other children who were loudly chanting, "SOPHIA SOPHIA SOPHIA SOPHIA!!!"

I can see it now... 20 years from now my little Sophia is holed up in a compound battling it out with the ATF...



ugh!
