Grass stains, mud, a found stick, a red leaf...a very good day playing outside.
"Home Again" was a piece I particularly enjoyed making--the color scheme is working more here, and the lines are crisp. The purple 'Crocs' on Ernest's feet are the original super, squishy-soft kind--the ones sold now in stores are manufactured with harder, more compact rubber. (Shame, really. I liked the original kind much better.) The paper bag holds leftovers from lunch, as well as other odds and ends found in the woods that day. What I like best? The muddy hand prints on Ernest's t-shirt.
