Weekend Reads

Happy Friday, my friends.
I am enjoying an old favorite
book with my kids this weekend -
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume -
do you remember it?
and I am almost through with 
 ROOM
by Emma Donoghue -
anyone else read it?

I finished The Help
and have enjoyed listening to the soundtrack this past week in my studio -
 ( thanks to my girls for buying it for me!)
...these two girls above are the same drawing - painted with different mediums -
just playing around while I listen...

Have a great weekend!

Oh, however do you find the time to do it all. I love the top girl - the color saturation and intensity in her eyes is amazing. I am STILL reading the pirate hunter but feel that pastime will take a back seat until after the conference. Have a wonderful weekend.

I haven't read any of the books you've mentioned. Are they intended for the younger set?
I've always found it interesting that the same subject can look so different dependng on the medium used in painting it. Both of the paintings here are lovely. Have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Friday dear Heather! What a cute pair you have here - I like the different colors in each piece. I just finished 'the help' too and i've heard the recorded version is really good! I'll have to check into getting that!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!

Oh my gosh! I grew up reading tons of Judy Blume! This certainly jogged my memory back to those good old days...

Your girls look lovely as always! :)
