Liam's island drawing


Liam was nonchalant about this work: "Oh, that's just something I did in aftercare!"  It is fascinating to observe how a child's drawings evolve.  It also reminds me how art (like so much or everything else in life) cannot be forced.  When we ask Liam to fill one page before using a 2nd one, we generally do not inspire such richness.


I wonder if Liam will ever have a memory of an author crumpling page after page as she revises in the era before word processing.
