mom was whining about this post, but i don't think she needs to worry, such a perfectionist. mom is becoming a sketch diva, she must have her velvet robe and servants holding the lights at just the right angle to be struck with "her unique vision". ok, i'm lying, but i was giving her shit this morning, and thought i just give her just a little more.

i like her play on words though, TO->MA - TO->SON,,,, just like our sketchbook.... get it? so clever, she deserves to be a diva.

well, mother, i'm trying to be a good influence.  1 day, now that's turn-around.  of course, with short turn around, you get green boobs being plucked from the ocean, and a big hole in the pages for you to work with....

it was such a nice night i didn't even let the bugs bother me.

much cooler now than the swimming red dust of day.

even the farmer's temper tends to cool a degree.

as a sweat boils up inside things the man cannot say.

ok mom, i have no idea.  i've been slacking on my turn to update, and apparently self-imposed guilt comes out as words that don't make any sense and are not spelled right.  i wanted to send it back to you before i left for the rest of the week though.  i feel kind of bad turning grandma into a superhero, although i'm sure she'll use her powers only for good and not evil.  

and i'm not sure why i feel the need to color everything in with little lines.  sure has been happening a lot lately though.  make a shape, put little stripes in it.  not good, horizontal stripes make me look fat.  i stay up too late, that's why nothing i write makes any sense.

i LOVE mom's new post.  excellent country-fied pencil rendering.  and the new pic is from 1930, a pic of my grandmother (mom's mom) and her sister.  grandma was a fox!!
