I thought I would include this picture for historical purposes. This is where my art talents started. I drew this when I was four years old, the same year my brother was born.
(He didn't know I was supposed to be an only child until later.) Just kidding! I mainly put this in because my dad would like a copy of it. I won't include the one I drew of you in the shower though, Dad!
Since this picture I have improved in my art skills and have changed my subject matter completely. Maybe I would make more money at it if I kept nature real - animals going potty, monkeys eating poo, etc. Another job opportunity in answer to my mid-life crisis!

Our puppy in Alaska! I'm glad that didn't get lost in all those moves. (It was a puppy wasn't it ... as I look at the picture now, it bears an uncanny resemblance to an aardvark!)

Yeah, I didn't remember it resembling Picasso's work, either. Maybe I'll copy it over and over to resemble Andy Warhol's art. Pink puppies, orange puppies, etc.

Ewwww! I remember that primate at the Sedgewick County Zoo. fEWWWW! GROSS1!!!

I haven't been able to think of monkeys the same ever since. I can feel my gag reflex kicking on - change thoughts - I like horses!

I can only WISH I were such a talented artist! Your murals are incredible!

not sure if i'm more worried about the fact that you drew that as a child or the fact that you posted it publicly as an adult....

Picture of your dad in the shower???? Does your dad do that in the shower? I've peed in the shower, but have always held off on the other because I couldn't figure out how to get it down the drain grate without getting my feet dirty. I'd like to learn the technique. Think of the time saved in the morning in two of the three S's could be performed completely simultaneously. With a fogless mirror, then all three could be done with one fell swoop.

Ugh! Krista, you need to moderate some of these so they don't get posted. The last one is beyond trashy.

Sorry, I thought it was hilarious!

I don't think my dad has done that in the shower.....you try it and let me know how it goes! I'll come over and draw a picture of it!
