Hello and Happy October 9^th, my two favorite ladies!

 

I am loving that it’s October right now.  This is my most favorite month of the year, and this year is extra special for me because your Uncle Patrick and I will be having our 10^th wedding anniversary this Halloween.  Shannon, you were just a tiny baby, but you were at our wedding in Hawaii – it was SO beautiful.   I’m pretty sure you weren’t overly impressed with most of it (6 month olds are VERY tough to impress with things like weddings), but I’m also pretty sure you did get to go swimming for the first time on that trip; your folks could tell you for sure. I have to remember to find some of those pictures and share them with you now!

 

Anyway, that’s about all the news from here!  This weeks’ artist is the lovely and very talented Miss. Eva Elliott, who sent me this awesome kitty drawing:

 

I especially love the bright color, and the hot pink with the yellow makes it extra fabulous.  You know my most most most favorite thing, though?  I love to look for repeated shapes in artwork – remember the triangles in the circus picture? – but I don’t like for things to be super symmetrical or matchy-matchy.  Well this kitty has triangle shapes inside it’s ears, which are mirrored in the “v”s made in just some –but not all - of the whiskers and eyebrows, and it has these 3 wonderful little “u” shapes in the nose and the corners of it’s mouth, and the outside of it’s ears make 2 of the same shape, but flipped upside-down!  So lots of fun things for my eyes to find, but not matchy-matchy.  Love it!!

 

And then, just to have a little extra fun, I took Eva’s drawing and ran it through a computer program to make the pictures below, which also turned out pretty cool and made me happy.

 

Thank you for sharing your work with me!

Know that I love you both and think that you’re awesome!

Hugs and kisses,

Auntie Paula
