Chas, who I rarely ask to pose, still working the treehouse sit-still-and-be-quiet. We just leave the quilt laid out up there now and return every morning. It’s soooo good. Looove the treehouse. Thinking about building an addition, but I’ll have to locate some good long pieces of old lumber first. OOH, we need LACE up there, too. Don’t tell the boys. they might not like that. But I feel like it’s my treehouse too, you know? I mean, why not? Lace.

so, actually, this is part of that Moleskine sketchbook that’s going to the London Book Fair in a few weeks (thank you, Moleskine!). I’m extremely motivated to do a lot of sketching, consequently. And I could always use help with faces. I was discovering that I tend to draw the same features, more or less the same face, as I sketch along. Now that I’m studying faces, I’m hooked on discovering all those wonderful details that make people’s faces unique. It’s really addictive! So that’s why I’m up past midnight on a Friday, drawing at my desk (besides that fact that I’m a dork).
