Talking with Will

will1
Will wanted to tell me about something that happened at school. I asked him if I could take some pictures of him while he talked. He said no, but I did it anyway.

He was crouched down trying to hide from me.

He can’t just concentrate on talking to me, he’s got to touch and feel and fidget.  Sometimes I grab him and make him focus, other times I let him go.  I fidget, too, so I know how it is.

He tucks his lower lip in like that a lot.

Can you hear him talking?  He was telling me about a drug prevention movie he’d watched in social studies.  There were a bunch of athletes (cool ones, like windsurfers and stuff) talking about how they couldn’t do the stuff they do if they were drug-users.  I hate that my fourth graders have to know about that kind of stuff.

I tried to get some smiles, but when he has to smile on cue, it gets goofy.  I didn’t even take those pictures, though I wish I had.  This closed-mouth smile looks pretty good, though.

Wasn’t it nice of him to pose in front of that wall of yarn.  It makes a great background, especially when it gets blurred out and is mostly just color.

Look at these eyes.  Isn’t he beautiful?  (This is one of the two photos that I actually Photoshopped, though I see now that it is still too dark.  It looks different here than it did in Photoshop.  I have so much to learn.  The other one I edited is the very first one back at the beginning of this very long photo-post).

And then he finally had enough of this messing around.

Come on, Will, show me what you really think.

    Wow, that kid can really roll his eyes far back. I’m impressed. In the 4th photo from the end, I can see Joe’s smile on Will. The long hair is starting to grow on me. They just didn’t look right for awhile with hair, the darkness of the hair was especially surprising. But I’m beginning to like it.
    Fun series of closeups, interesting to see Will’s face right under yours.

    Handsome young man. In a few years, you’ll have to start swatting the girls off with a baseball bat – assuming you aren’t already having to do so!

This is my reminder that a good artist never blames her tools, but it sure is nice having really great tools. (I got Pfeil palm set C, plus one extra) #carvedecember #thepainteddiaries#suzanne_365

Instagram post 2196566338359576256_15732201 My people wanted new socks for our upcoming ski trip, so I found some @darntoughvermont ski socks big enough for their giant feet! The XxL have padding on the shin, marks XL socks have padding in the top of the foot, too. (He wears a 14, my other people wear a size 16 shoe 🙃). I decided I needed a sock stamp. These socks are guaranteed for life! (Swipe to see the socks... bet you can’t guess which ones are mine, lol) #carvedecember #suzanne_365 #thepainteddiaries
Instagram post 2196129456853187803_15732201 Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself. —Lois McMaster Bujold, my absolute favorite author, has been named a SFEA Grand Master. This is from her book A Civil Campaign.  I think about this concept a lot. For my #carvedecember carving, I meant the rays to be shallower, but I slipped. I’m also terrible at lining them up. #thepainteddiaries#suzanne_365
Instagram post 2195863854498559253_15732201 The prompt was tea time, but I don’t do tea or coffee, so hot cocoa it was! I found this mug shortly after signing up for @everythingartuk’s Wanderlust 2020. While drinking and reading, I felt like I was being watched. I think he thought I had ice cream in my mug and was waiting for his turn. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #suzannegetsmessy#getmessyartjournal #dailyhobbes
Instagram post 2195281820554277242_15732201 White on white. I did some journaling with a clear Glaze pen on the predecorated page. The words are modeling paste through a stencil. My intention was to do some more layering after it was dry, but I kinda like it like this, so I’m going to leave it for now! #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #thelayeredpage #suzannegetsmessy #getmessyartjournal
