What a hoot! Derek decided to wear his papa's robe, from when he was little, as a kilt. Derek is quite an interesting, unique kid! We never know what he is going to do or say next!

Here is Derek's version of Batman! His pants are clipped around his neck so he has a cape! He still enjoys dressing up as you can see from our photos!





Here are my two artists working at the same time. Derek is using oil pastels and ink on gray construction paper while Ric, in the background, is in the process of doing a linoleum cut for King's Books in Tacoma, which will be printed with a real life steam roller.

We hope you had a fabulous Valentine's Day! Derek draws or paints every day. The photo where his hands are full of paint, is when he learned he could use all of his fingers to paint with! His art work turned out so fabulous, we just had to frame it and put it in our kitchen. It looks absolutely beautiful!
