Marina,

What a beautiful drawing.

As a new father I often asked the same thing - what are you thinking?

I must ask you and Chris to please be careful where you step as I feel I am walking with giants.

Thomasin, thank you for your kind words. I've always loved the drawing but I could never completely divorce myself from my emotional connection to be truly objective so I was and am pleased that it has received some recognition.

John it is so sweet. Hard, very hard, to draw a newborn and you did a sensitive, beautiful job.

Marina, congrats and I love this drawing of yours, too.

Chris, post your drawing, please!!!

Congratulations to you all! I wasn't aware of the books but now I'm going to buy them. They are exceptional drawings. John, you seem taller. . .!
