Inspired By Another Warrior Woman

Cartoonist since age four; gave it up at twelve After spending nine months in the clutches of the meanest art teacher alive or dead Did not take it back up until I was forty-four During grad school when I was in the clutches of another evil professor. Happily did not need it as an outlet until I got terrifically bored, around age sixty. Grabbed up my pencil and began drawing dragons, witches, pirates, wild warrior women peter pan, cats, unicorns, flowers, hippies, anything and everything that amused me My nine-year-old granddaughter Molly was such a cartoonist! A natural! I bought her canvases so we could keep her creations. One day she begged me to paint with her. Waste a canvas on me? Ha! That was six years ago. My house is filled with my cartoons now. I count seventy-eight canvases of mine in my living room. Thanks to an insistent nine-year-old who would not let up. A little wild warrior woman!

Now that I have figured out how to add photos I will. Maybe tomorrow. I am full up on stuff to do today! Molly is a "beast" the first girl to play football on her team when she was in 8th grade. The 9th grade coach came to school and begged her to play on the H.S. team this year.
