I don’t know what I was thinking painting a face with blue paint, but that’s just what happened to come out today! The other figure looks a lot like my Cabbage Patch Kid from the 3rd grade! I decided I am going to create a whole bunch of these little figure studies and put them all together at the end. Here is what I have thus far:
I may have to work a little bit on cohesiveness. I’m not really seeing how these tie together! I better start thinking before I continue. Create a theme or vision of some sort.
On a busier and more merrier note, we have been feverishly preparing for our Christmas festivities. Today is our wrapping, and labeling day. I helped the kids during the day, but my husband and I will be up for hours tonight helping Santa :)
My son is sick. He’s been coughing and has had a fever for the past three days. I just found out there is a confirmed case of strep from his classroom. I am still on the fence, does he have an old-fashioned cold or something worse? His throat is giving him too much trouble. It’s mostly a fever creating lethargy. Murphy’s Law will decide it Christmas morning. That’s just how it goes! Unfortunately I have been tanking up on vitamin C. I am on the cusp of some kind of cold myself, but I have dodged it for an entire week now.
Come on UNIVERSE!!! I can be sick on January 1st. I’ll sit in a warm blanket and watch TV all day. It just can’t happen a minute sooner!
PLEASE!

Merry Christmas, all you Walsh’s. And get a throat culture on Owen. Love, pml
I love your gallery of portraits. Reminds me of Picasso but more whimsical.
