So, I'm standing in my living room letting my mind wander for a minute or two as I stare out the window and watch the day go by, and I see my neighbors walking their dogs down the street. They are nice neighbors who are always friendly and responsible with their property. That is to say they aren't like the other neighbors who heap rubbish behind their house like Ma and Pa Kettle and let their dogs bark for thirty minutes at a time . Anyway, I see the nice people walking their dogs, a big golden retriever who is as sweet as can be and as dumb as a post—he once ate a sock and nearly died before it was surgically removed—and a new golden retriever puppy. Then I see Neighbor Wife suddenly run down the street with the big dog. Then I see Neighbor Husband stopped in front of my house with the puppy on its leash. And then I see the puppy taking a huge dump in my grass. Let me tell you, that is not done in this town unless the dog owner has a plastic bag handy and is ready to pick up ...

That is awesome! I wish my daughter would dabble with watercolor, she enjoys using just pencil right now.
Over the next week, I will dole them out one by one so as not to overwhelm anyone with my artistic expertise. Thanks, though.
there's certianly some talent there!!
Lovely.
Dive, one of my first little exercises. I won't be posting the hideous failures, but I thought this one would do.
My daughter has some talent and I have been trying to encourage her to add some color to her black pencil drawings.
