I challenged myself and actually rendered most of the opossum without turning the page upside down.. brought back drawing exercises from "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain"

Osgood goes to the optometrist

My son and I were outside in the garden and he was fascinated by my description of what a mole is..

"A little animal that digs tunnels under the ground and eats bugs and plants.He's got little tiny eyes and cant see very good."
He immediately wanted to go inside and look them up in my National Geographic Encyclopedia of Mammals... he sat on my lap and we read all about them.. cute little devils.

The Right Fielder

I totally remember playing right field in minor league. Wearing my baseball glove like a mask.. blowing dandelions.. picking grass. One of the few places a six year old can sit and think uninterrupted and commune with nature.
