Busy days, doing stuff, blogging .... um, yes?

This is the last week of classes in Booker T. Washington Arts Magnet High School for my daughter, the Comic Book Queen, pictured, left, in her self-portrait, entitled, Otto Dix, I Want to Paint Like You. Next week, the family arrives like invading Cossacks. The week after, she graduates.

Soooooo ... book/daddy is kinda busy right now, you know?

Very nice painting, lots of talent on display. But is this cool elegant chick really little Suzanna? My goodness. As Suzanne herself used to say, "Hubba, hubba!"

What an excellent painting and an excellent title for a painting. I didn't even know who Otto Dix was at her age--I am impressed!
