I love your sense of adventure. I also like what you said about building as you go. So creative. I especially like No. 4, but there is something very lively about No. 3. It brought to mind that rascal Ben Franklin. I'm sure your brother brings you many laughs.<br /><br />I do hope you have some time in the near future to post art.

And objectively I can say that they are all terrific. Each one slightly different. But in all of them Bob has a bit of a mischievous look.

I thought of "This is Your Life" when I began adding book titles to his bookcase. My style with the markers was that of a child with a new box of crayons--jump in and make marks. Next time, if there is one, I'll try to think before applying those permanent marks.hw (hallie) farberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636182620056350811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7910005928220163773.post-66575168383572846462014-05-07T13:28:50.888-04:002014-05-07T13:28:50.888-04:00Thanks Robin.

Your paintings are sculptural- I'm sure your love of sculpture is a factor.<br />I agree that Jean does remarkable work with Tombow markers. Both of you have very distinctive styles.<br />Wonderful to see you here today! Yay! It's gonna be a great day!
