My nice niece.
I had a wonderful 1.5 hours this afternoon in the company of my very beautiful great-great niece, as we sat down to get acquainted. I received a hug when we met, and a hug when we left.
I met a very petty, articulate and poised young lady. I'm happy she's my niece and that we will see each other over the next 4 years while she attends Brevard College. She has permitted me to post this picture. Portrait sketches of her will be forthcoming; again with her permission.

A Mood sketch
Photograph vs sketch (not finished). The sketch is a "mood" (not moody - there's a difference) sketch of beauty contemplating.

Being Human
People –
Acts of Kindness
There are in this world billions of people who do random acts of kindness for their family, friends, neighbors and strangers every day without wanting or even thinking of wanting anything more than “thanks”. This is the true religion: being human.
