The Letter of the Day

It's the usual Mother's Day mayhem in the studio, but for the first time ever I have a bit of separation from it since I am in the last dwindling days of my maternity leave. This is only possible with HUGE thanks to my studio managers Charlotte and Sahra and the interns that I hired so I can enjoy this new baby.


Having extra time allowed me today to watch my five year old son work on his show & tell project for school. The letter of the day is "Y" so he made up an alien/super-hero named "Yellow Yeller."
So awesome.



I love watching him make his art, because he always achieves the "flow" that I am looking for when I do my work. That elusive place where you are only focused on your piece, and time melts away. For my son, it is like this almost every time. He said he likes the pastels, a new medium for him, because they are "smudgy and messy."

There are other people in the house that incidentally
are not so concerned about the letter of the day.
