the giant baby serving the dwarf children

from another dedication today. I can only do light colors and little paint since this isn't watercolor paper. I thought of repeating an existing birthday scene, but made two new ones instead. Erased the three parents who were behind the table.

Pictures from the coast of southern Oregon and Northern California. We went camping and it was a much needed time spend in nature. Listening to the ocean feels so good.

I took very few pictures.

Rumi putting these utensils in a drawer. There is money in the cash register! It is a food truck part of a math project.

Shown here without its roof.

I hope you get to walk by the ocean too.

 Jamaican women.

Instead of mixing colors-drawing on the palette (plate).

During an evening walk. Sunset light and Rumi's wonderful presence.

Borrowed these shoes, but luckily didn't wear them at the concert. Rumi was happy to try them...

I was going to share these 3 pictures on the first of June, for the day of the Child, celebrated in Bulgaria. Didn't due to confusion. I still don't know how this blog should change or whether to abandon it.

Drew this short sequence last night for the two boys the book is for. Showed it to my husband, and this is what he said: "Maria, you are wasting your time." How stupid of me to be repeating words that hurt me. And I get his point...maybe I should listen and change?

And last, this video is for my dad, who passed away on this day fourteen years ago. For the conversations we could have had.
