Robyn,
That is awesome! I wish my daughter would dabble with watercolor, she enjoys using just pencil right now.

Kim, I laughed so hard at this comment, I slapped my knee because it sounds like you think one of my daughters painted this cat picture. Actually, I did. I'm in the process of posting samples of my short-lived but enjoyable attempt to teach myself water color.

Over the next week, I will dole them out one by one so as not to overwhelm anyone with my artistic expertise. Thanks, though.
Very good Robyn - we have a good art school here in Boston if you want to take this further.

there's certianly some talent there!!

Its so cute I just want to eat it.

Midway between the last two, Robyn; I just want to hug him.
Lovely.

I'm afraid, Old Knudsen, that eating cats in this country is forbidden. Tiger is pretty beefy, though.

Dive, one of my first little exercises. I won't be posting the hideous failures, but I thought this one would do.

Robyn, I'm glad I gave you a good laugh!..Actually I have been following your blog so I know you are the artist. And a very good one at that.

My daughter has some talent and I have been trying to encourage her to add some color to her black pencil drawings.

Kim, I wish I were able to draw and create from scratch more than I can at this point in time. Color is always nice, but remember Ansel Adams.

Right Brain Dominant

I am reading A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future , by Daniel H. Pink. I wouldn't have chosen this book had I been book hunting because I lean toward fiction—it was a gift from someone who, like me, is right-brain dominate. I haven't gotten very far, just far enough to learn that in Hippocrates' day, the left side of the brain was considered the true source of thought, the thing that separated us from the animals and made us human. It was the source of reason and logic. The right side was considered a useless left over, a parasite. Now we know that both sides of our brains are equally important and equally involved in our daily thoughts and functions. But some of us do seem to be governed by one side more strongly than the other. Me, sometimes I think the left side of my brain has completely atrophied, that the right side governs everything. But I am learning that I don't give that other side enough credit, that logical mathy side. As I read on ab...

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...

Ish People

Tell an Ish person to show up around 9 a.m., and you'll see them somewhere around 9 a.m. Tell them to show up at 9ish, and you'll see them anywhere from 9:05 to 9:20. You have given them license to dilly dally, and who wouldn't take advantage of that? The other night at the big shindig dinner party, one of the drummers said the rehearsal the next morning would begin at 9ish. "I am an ish person," he says. Immediately the clanker goes off in my head--oh, good, I thought. I can deliver my daughter a little late. No Ish person is early, so if you say 9ish, that does not mean give or take 5, 10, 15 minutes. It's exclusively a taking phrase. Take an extra 10 minutes to drink your cup of coffee. We won't mind. We're Ish people. Sunday's rehearsal started at 2:00. Because it was conducted by the same people who conducted the Saturday rehearsal, my understanding was 2-ISH. My daughter is worse than I am about taking liberties with Ish time frames, so she d...
