666...in progress – Day XXVII
After drawing today’s 12 leafs I was lucky enough to be able to spend an afternoon with our two beautiful grandchildren. I couldn’t help thinking about the separated children the leaves represent and how important it is to keep them and their families in our thoughts each every day until they are all reunited.

In remembrance this was my post on November 15, 2015
Studio 365: Day 319
I wrote, on Studio 365: Day 11 after the massacre at Charlie Hebdo, how I fell in love with Paris on my first visit there as a young boy in August 1962. I posted a drawing I had made sitting in the Tuileries Garden on a beautiful summer’s Day. Now, here I am on Day 319 once again expressing solidarity and sympathy through the best way I know how with all those mourning today in Paris, in France and around the world. The drawing from that same never-to-be-forgotten visit in 1962 is of one of bridges over the Seine, when one of the most beautiful cities in the world inspired a young boy who has felt that inspiration ever since. Je suis Paris.

666…in progress – Day XVIII
546 tonight becomes 666 with 24 new leaves for a total of 387. Today it was reported that the number of separated children for whom they have been not been able to find parents has now increased to 666. 129 of these children were under 5 at the time of their separation and included babes in arms. The sunny view of the week ahead I celebrated this morning is sadly cloudy once again…and my leaves for the children continues.
