My Lucretia

In this amazing class I'm taking we were given the lovely Lucretia, by Rembrandt, as inspiration. This is my version of that painting. It's not supposed to be her, just be inspired by her. I decided to give her some hair across her forehead...as a chick with a BIG forehead, er fivehead, I didn't want my painted lady to have to live with that. She gets to use the same trick I use, a bit of hair swept over it to lessen the vast acreage.
After much work I'm pleased with her, though I'd love to know what is on her mind.

Summer Lovin'

The latest in my tree series. I do adore a tree sporting all its big beautiful summer leaves!


And a wee tale I just got to share...I've got one of those names that most folks find particularly challenging. If I spell it for someone then they're never able to pronounce it correctly. If I pronounce it for someone they're never able to spell it correctly. But something truly incredible happened. I was at a store purchasing some things for my classroom...compliments of our amazing PTA...and I spelled my name for the checker. I had a feeling that my name was about to be Texanized, but I got a great surprise. A lady behind the checker looked at my name and then said, "Kali, we're going to have to put a couple of these things on order." And she said my name perfectly!!! This is a big deal for a girl who was never able to find any of that awesome personalized stuff like keychains, bicycle license plates, and pencils as a kid. A BIG DEAL, I say.

If they'd had a tip jar I would have dropped some cash in it!

Startled!

I saw my shadow today.  I see it pretty much every day, of course, but it really stuck out to me today.  And it startled me.  The thing is, even though I got my hair cut short about three months ago (it was long for almost ten years), I think in my mind's eye, I still have long hair.  Mind you, it's not a sad startle.  It's a "Dang, that's sassy!" startle. 

So...I suppose I was basically startled by my sassy self.  Groovy!
