What is this…a best of week or something?
Yesterday it was gardening…today it’s drawing….oh, my life is an oyster.
If you thought I was bad at gardening…you should see my drawing attempts. Stick figures…stick helicopters…stick everything. Even my hearts and smiley-faces seem lop-sided and confused.
My daughter…she’s 4 1/2…and she loves drawing and coloring…and I love doing it with her…eventually though, she will turn 6…or 7….and will realize “Holy cow…my dad sucks at drawing” “What is this supposed to be?” “Is this a sun or a some sort of blob with arms?”
Right now…she thinks I’m Van Gogh….soon she’ll realize I’m Van Gogh-no.
However…HOWEVER…on Monday…she asked me to draw Peppa Pig…I figured it would be a disaster…but then, as if Leonardo Da Vinci’s ghost came down and took control of my hand…I came up with….this…
Priscilla said it was the best drawing she had ever seen….and gave me a huge hug…and asked me to hang it on her wall.
I was proud…and stunned….and am worried that I’ve raised the bar too much. I better start working on my Daniel Tigers…my Shopkins…and my Slimers (from Ghostbusters)….hmm…I should be able to handle Slimer…just a green blob, right? Just a green blob I say…obviously, this one time success at art has gone to my head.
