Sneaking the Stockings
Traditionally, stockings are magically reserved for the wee hours of Christmas morning in the Du Pont house. This would afford Brian's mom extra time to sleep when the kids were little. It has been Brian and my grown up pleasure to wake up before our boys, dump our stocking treasures and gorge ourselves on chocolate and treats. But last year, they beat us to it. With quiet little murmuring coming from the next room, we suddenly realized the little boys learned the fine art of sneaking the stockings! We are no longer alone!

Inktober Self-portrait
Made a self-portrait and inked it on a whim. The poor Moleskin was totally unprepared.
Why is it that when I draw myself, my normally messy hair looks miraculously good and my face looks 10 years younger? Is this the nature of self-portraits? I know many artists who do this also.
Closing self-portrait thought: Unlike selfies, self-portraits are not evidence of vanity so much as evidence that the artist had very few available models.

Sleeping Baby
After a long wait with a crashed computer, I was finally able to scan in my painting! "Baby's Sleeping," in watercolor.

Hopes & Dreams: Wild Animals
"That is why the real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind." - C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity

Tail
I wasn't planning on participating this week, but then I got a drawing bug... I'm glad I did, I like this one! I'd love to put it in color with a nice backlight and cast shadows. I'll have to file this in my book of ideas for another time!
