- Here is a humble offering of pictures and punchy wordlets. I am a mother of one little girl. There is no more wordlumber, no more sitting on the hill contemplating, a lot more stepping on lego. I still think I'm quite good at drawing though

I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I love these. The cuteness factor is off the charts (especially that last one!), but also just the expressiveness and the lines. The combination of abstraction, gesture, and representative elements is just magical.
Really gorgeous work, imho.
Thank you Julie! It's so nice when you comment! It's nice to have this blog going again. I'd like to draw other peoples' children too, but it is an advantage to know someone so well.
I can't say it enough Chloe, you're an excellent artist! And these babies are just adorable!
