Friends Club

While looking through my portfolio from

art school I ran across this drawing.

My daughter was in grade school when she

drew it. She wanted to design a t-shirt for a club 

she was starting for her and her friends.

I recreated it using an illustration program and 

output color separations so it could be screen

printed onto t-shirts. (I wonder if she still has

her shirt—or if she even remembers this.)

This daughter is now an apparel designer. 

Little Ladies

It's all about the hat.

A church sponsored activity center for children turned my three daughters and a friend into church ladies during summer break twenty plus years ago. 

The opportunity arose during a trip to my mother's house. She suggested that they visit the center. I'm not sure what activities they participated in while there but I can tell that they thoroughly enjoyed dressing up.

The little girl in the checkered dress was a friend of one of my daughters but I don't recall the exact connection. I do know that she made an especially lovely lady.

Speaking of lovely church ladies. . .  now isn't she special?

This has nothing to do with church ladies or dressing up but here is a painting done by my daughter, Stephanie. The interesting thing about this piece is that this was her first painting effort. She was sixteen years old when she created this work of art for her dad. It made a very special Christmas gift.

There were offers to purchase it during the time it was at the frame shop.
