Pile of the Day
The curtain rises on the PS41 Fifth grade production of "Annie Get Your Gun" tomorrow night. Jack has a featured role then appears in virtually every scene as a member of the chorus. It's his first time treading the boards and he has taken to it like a pro. He warbles Irving Berlin's songs night and day and can't wait for his next audition.
Patti is the wardrobe mistress, costuming all 80 members of the two casts. She and her wonky limb have been traipsing all over town, buying notions, renting cowboy outfits, making bouquets and props. I'm amazed by her energy and productivity.
Our house has been a storage closet for all of the odds and bobs required — tassels, ticking, and tinsel await their cue on every flat surface.
A record of my exploration into all aspects of drawing, illustrated journaling, creativity, and the inspiring aspects of art. By the author of "Everyday Matters," "The Creative License", and "An Illustrated Life" and other books.

You might want to clear a space on the shelf for a Tony Award. Who needs Clios and One Show awards anyway????
Love the water color and wish we could see the show… I’m sure it’s wonderful!

I posted a note on another entry and wanted to tell you I love the approval part. How can I do that on my site? Who needs more crap than absolutely necessary.
Wanted to say that your mess has real style. I think I'll apply the same aesthetic sense to my messy house.

Good luck to one and all! I love the bright frieze of your sketch for this entry, Danny. For some reason I haven't been getting notices of recent updates so I'll resubmit myself.
All the best,
Laura F.
