I came home from class last night to find these portraits of Jason (and Ivan) that Maxine had drawn. I am utterly amazed! She's been doing this here and there lately, drawing from life. She calls it "modeling," ie, "can I model you?" I know every parent thinks their kid is a genius, but I have to say, I think my kid is a genius! Wahoo!
And in related news, my term paper for Educational Psychology is about cognitive development and artistic function in children. I love it when life kind of fits together. My favorite thing in school was always when two subjects I was studying related to each other to draw connections. I feel like my life is doing that now. Brain massage.

totally dawn... i loved that too. maxine's drawings are seriously awesomes. it's like picasso meets shel severstein.
it's kind of crazy to believe that i started my masters - and bikes weren't even on my radar. just not wanting to use a car and designing cities around that. it wasn't until a couple months in that bikes filled the void and found me.
i'm really excited for you in this time of your life. so many amazing things going on.
love,

Beautiful! Cyan is like that too and it is just amazing to watch. I love how she completely mastered the art of showing people in a relaxed pose. That is pretty darned brilliant if you ask me. :)
