Pictures Improved Part 2

    Okay, so maybe this one is a little strange. Same scenario, it was my father's birthday. Calendar, markers, you  know the rest. If you don't remember, then go back to the first Pictures Improved entry.
    We love cats. We all wish that we had a cat, but unfortunately, Darling Father is allergic, as is my sister. One of our friends  has a polydactyl  cat with 27 toes. They named her Polly in honor of all her special toes. Whenever we enter a pet store or animal shelter my sister and I find an adorable cat, stand in front of it, and make the biggest puppy eyes ever. Alas, we still are lacking a kitty in our home. Sigh.
    Anyway, I thought that this lively picture was missing something. The butterfly seemed to not realize the peril it was in, so I thought I'd give it a little perspective. Instead of flitting around, the butterfly broke all records in the history of insects. Word around the block is that it broke mach 1. Join me next week for Pictures Improved Part 3!!!

Pictures Improved

Recently it was my father's birthday, and I pondered what to give him. I thought, 'Hey, I have this old art calendar! Look, there are some metallic markers!' and ta- da! The big dino thing is one of my favorite characters that I draw. I have improved so much over the years in my drawing. I was horrified to find one of my old sketchbooks from second grade. No, horrified doesn't cover the way I felt. I was properly mortified. My darling father made comments like 'But I think that that looks cute!', 'That just shows how much you've improved!' and other parenting words designed to make me feel better about my formerly terrible drawing 'skills'. So over the course of the next few weeks, I will show you the rest of my fathers present, as well as some other improved drawings. Stay tuned.
