my result: an awkward thing

the interpretation: a man on vacation wearing something that he’d never wear back home

oh, how she must have felt.

i pitty her life as it was and applaud her strength…

hopscotching in the forest is a beautiful past-time. this reminds me of my childhood…

raine: {elephant cart}

here is one of raine’s (my 5 year old daughter’s) pieces that she recently completed on a piece of paper that i was hoping to use…{oh well}…she probably did more justice to it than i could have im sure. i couldnt be upset with her when i saw this precious elephant on a cart. raine creates artwork that is truly inspiring to me. im thinking of making her her own blog for christmas.

*artist note: she says that she made the trunk too long, hence the black mark on the end of it….that is NOT scribbling.
