I received Fathers Day cards today from my two favorite artists.
Zoë’s card is a highly-saturated representation of Claire, her Mom’s basset hound. Zoë informed me that she had wanted to paint each individual blade of grass a different color of green, but after that proved too difficult she just shaded the whole area in and added the lawn mower to explain why it was all a uniform height.
Emma, on the other hand, was worried that her card might not be relevant after yesterday’s accident, but I assured her that it was absolutely perfect.

Ok, those are just too cute.
It’s funny: those cards and their respective artistic styles tell alot about the girls. Zoe’s is energetic, almost frenetically colorful, not particularly organized but very enthusiastic. Emma’s is carefully laid-out, delicately colored (in pencil rather than crayon), and the details have been thoughtfully attended to.
Awwwwwe! I remember with great fondness the cards made in earlier years. There is nothing better than a card from a daughter!
yep, that pesky internal server error got me again! Please delete double post!
Ah, yes, that pesky internal server error. With the imminent release of Movable Type 3.3, that should soon be a thing of the past…
