[Whimsical]

Whimsical--full of whims, freakish, having odd fancies, capricious. 

There's something so whimsical about a circus, or fair.   The colors are captivating, 

the food junky but devine,  & just enjoying simple things like a corn dog, or a ferris wheel ride are what make life better.  

When I lived in CA, we would go to the local Del Mar fair in San Diego.  My favorite part was always the pig races (te-he), the dip'n'dots (yum), and the pony rides.  Although, I've always hated clowns.    

I tried something new yesterday: Shorts and tights. I rather like how it turned out.
Sweater: Hand-me-down
Shorts: Gap

Why can you never find stuff like this at the Goodwill? I suppose I'll have to sew these things
myself. And these are just A FEW of the things that I want to steal form Anthropologie. Grrr.  
Why can't beautiful clothes be cheaper?

I've been listening to a lot of Cat Stevens, thanks to Audrey.  And, I like pictures, so this'll be a big picture post.  And, I've been drawing a lot lately too. I'm better at more graphic art, but I'm trying to practice more real life/still life/portraits.
Here's my latest:




And, I found an old sketchbook of dad's. Don't you think he should illustrate a children's fantasy
book?





And one he never finished:

He drew those in college people. COLLEGE.
These are in our hallway: (mom)

(This is his version of Gollum/Smeagol):

And here's something I want to draw. Isn't it the coolest? It's a leaf seahorse.

I still love Disney movies, even though I'm almost 16, so I'm off to watch The Lion King on 
youtube. (the animation on them is AMAZING--and the colors!!!)

It's snowing again.  Phooey.  
Dad did an art class with us kids today.  We practiced doing timed sketches.  I'm quite proud of mine.
