Anecdotal Beard Success

June 18, 2006

I received Fathers Day cards today from my two favorite artists.

Zoe’s card is a highly-saturated representation of Claire, her Mom’s basset hound. Zoe informed me that she had wanted to paint each individual blade of grass a different color of green, but after that proved too difficult she just shaded the whole area in and added the lawn mower to explain why it was all a uniform height.

Emma, on the other hand, was worried that her card might not be relevant after yesterday’s accident, but I assured her that it was absolutely perfect.

    It’s funny: those cards and their respective artistic styles tell alot about the girls. Zoe’s is energetic, almost frenetically colorful, not particularly organized but very enthusiastic. Emma’s is carefully laid-out, delicately colored (in pencil rather than crayon), and the details have been thoughtfully attended to.

    Awwwwwe! I remember with great fondness the cards made in earlier years. There is nothing better than a card from a daughter!

    Ah, yes, that pesky internal server error. With the imminent release of Movable Type 3.3, that should soon be a thing of the past…
