Flight Behavior

I have been reading Barbara Kingsolver's book "Flight Behavior".   It is a story about a young woman living in rural america whose life changes dramatically one day when the Monarch Butterflies migrate to the farm she lives on instead of Mexico.   It is another winner by this
great author and I recommend it to everyone concerned about global warming.

I want to thank my dear daughter, Molly, for all her help in redoing my blog for me.   I think it is so much better as well as user friendly.  Visit her blog Sweet Potato here.

I am going to begin a commission next.  I believe I can post blogs about my progress but will have to ask the client first.  It will be a bird but the bird is a Penguin!  I will do some sketches first and once approved, begin.  The size is 18 X 18 inches. 

Book Review

I have finished the book "Room".  I know there has  been some reluctance for some to read it and also some puzzlement on why I chose to read it.  Here are my reasons why I enjoyed this book:

1.  It is different and a story line I have never encountered.

2.  It is written through the eyes of the five year old boy.  It makes you see how he views what has happened to him and his mother since he has been born into this situation.

3.  You are given plenty of food for thought about the world we all take for granted, both good and bad.

4.  You see how strong the mother is dealing with what has happened to her but turning it into the best possible world for her son as well as protecting him at all times.

I enjoyed it and did not have a problem with the ending either, which some who read it did.

It may not be a book for everyone but I am glad I read it.
