Learning to Draw

I totally forgot about Nefarious’s trapese class this morning! Oops! But a good day anyway because on Caitlin‘s suggestion we went down to the ROM and did some life drawing. I think she did extremely well for a first attempt! Later it’s off to the fireworks, and I expect tomorrow we’ll go skating… I got long underwear to give myself a little more endurance for it.

    It looks like she’s drawing on quality paper, are you writing the dates on the backs to show her when she gets older?

    Yes, definitely Gatto — I highly recommend him. You can read his first book on the web free.

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
