As is often the case, the original is much smaller – I drew her on a scrap of paper that had managed not to be invaded by clandestine rhinoceri. But that’s a story for another time.
I do not yet have internet at home, but I have organised it and am catching up on news and uploads. In addition to the wedding illustrations yesterday, there will be cooking and, maybe, a stray rhinoceros. Oh, and book reviews.

I remember that well…and then suddenly that bump is 18 years old and going off to college. I like both the original drawing and the colored one. Very nice!

Oooh! This is good – you’ve really captured that “get on with it” type of vibe!
