Hmm... Yes, that was an ear that I erased. Didn't notice it before, it is distracting though. I will erase it better, but the paper is indented there too.

thanks Dad, this is going to be a big project, maybe 2 months worth of drawings.

I want to complete four large oil paintings to go with the 44 drawings. Then I will be able to exhibit all 44 drawings and 4 paintings together, or in groups of eleven drawings and 1 painting.

You know me - I like the polished stuff - it has a real feeling to it. I like to look at it.
