frog #2 (the mother)

ballpoint pen sketch

“I looked at the clock with the faint unconscious hope 
common to all mothers 
that time will somehow have passed magically away 
and the next time you look
 it will be bedtime.” 
― Shirley Jackson, Life Among the Savages

    You make frogs look so endearing! I love this. I had to chuckle with your comment about the Rhino - I was actually thinking of you when I put up her picture and almost mentioned you in the post - how about that!!! I must have sent you a vibe or something. Now, I want to see your amazing portrayal of a Rhino :)
