Since I blew right past Wordless Wednesday this week, I might as well add more words into the story of these pictures that I had been planning to share with you.
The boys have both been busy making much art, and I have been having too much fun with my iPhone camera, always handy, always there.
This past week, parents were invited into Ethan's school to walk the halls and witness the results of the wonderful "Studio in a School" art program that has just completed a unit with the 4th grade, quite interestingly tied in with their history curriculum.
The kids providing docent service for the grown-ups, Ethan loved shepherding me through the show, helping me to find his own creations.
I know he wasn't consciously trying to mimic the expression on his "Crazy Warrior" - a portrait of the self, imagined as a colonial era figure. But, it shines through, no?

Jacob has been drawing, drawing, drawing, as usual, and I thought I'd share some of the latest crop:
 |
| A guy |
 |
| A Dragonball Z Kai dude. And if you have to ask, you don't want to know. |
All TV show and cartoon characters this time. But, once again... WOW! Jake's ability to capture so much emotion, especially in the eyes, I find beyond astounding. Who says autistic kids don't perceive, understand and process emotion?

| Dragonball dude again |
 |
| Yes, it's everybody's favorite airbender: Ang the Avatar |
 |
| I love these eyes. |
 |
| Is it just me, or do you not want to meet this guy in a dark alley, too? |
My favorite are the half-finished ones, with the simplest lines.
 |
| I love this drawing |
And because he's so damn cute, here's a picture of the artist, too:
 |
| Jake out & about on our snowy Saturday last week |
Me? It rained and rained and rained today. A biblical level downpour that lasted about 20 minutes. Excellently, of course, during the alternate side car-parking shuffle time. So what did I do? Document it, of course.
 |
| Rain on my windshield on Riverside Drive. |
I turn my wipers off at red lights and watch the rain overwhelm the windshield.
Enjoy. And coming tomorrow - lots of words!
