It's a what???
isn't this a cute little guy? It's a kiwi chick, native to New Zealand, a picture I copied in watercolor pencil and ink from my photo collection. Here in northern California a kiwi is a lemon-sized piece of green fruit, sort of like a strawberry in taste and usually shipped in from New Zealand, definitely not a bird!
Today was a much better day. My daughter is feeling almost well and is up and moving and planning to be totally functional tomorrow. Whatever hit her, some sort of bronchial thing, knocked her out for a full five days. I worked my usual hours, Beulie behaved herself and everything settled into a wonderful day. And it's Friday, a true TGIF!
I am SO glad I clicked to see the big version. Great pencil details! How large is the actual piece? (I'm with you on Kiwi's being lime-sized, fuzzy and full of seeds).
