Briddie’s Brunchers
Here are some pictures of the sisters and mom taking some photos after Briddie’s Brunch in Point Loma.
First Printing
First print on the new book came back and looks good so we are off to the printer and should have the copies in a couple of weeks.
Cate Paints In Beautiful Colors of the Rainbow Every Day
Her name is Cate Kingston. And she paints in extraordinary color that match her personality. Her favorite colors change based on what she is feeling that day. On this particular day however her favorite color was red.
This particular painting that Cate is holding caught my eye because I really loved the blue color and the stars and the moon. And it just happened to be perfect for my next book called Fly Your Spaceship Home. The book is a very simple book that talks about dreaming and how when you dream you can go all over the galaxy exploring space. In the morning you fly your spaceship home so you can eat breakfast with your family.
Cate let me use the painting in the book so I can’t wait for people to see it. Cate is only 6 years old but she has a very artistic eye and she wants to be a painter. That is what she said. I told her, “You already are!” because her work is that good.
Cate works very hard at art and is constantly practicing. I think when you practice, you become better and better and you can see that with Cate’s work which keeps improving everyday and she learns new ways to paint and make magical colors work.
Cate has to take lots of medicines to get better and she pours herself into her artwork when sometimes the medicine makes her tired or feel bad. So art for her is a way to really focus on the positive. Which makes her paintings great because they are from the heart.
The paintings have vibrant colors and lots of imagination. That is why I like them very much.
Cate paints rainbows and likes to mix the colors to make happy paintings for her family. Almost everyone in her family gets a painting from Cate. Everyone gets to enjoy her paintings. Maybe someday the paintings will be worth millions of dollars when she is famous! But no one would sell them because they are too important because they are from Cate.
So stay tuned I am hoping we can show you the final book soon which has just gone to printing!
Tiny and Charlie
Here they are. Two friends. Cousins. And they love to hang out with each other. About 6 months ago we were sitting at BBQ Pit having a beef sandwich and Tiny broke out of the blue and said, “Hey do you guys know that Charlie is coming home soon?” He was already planning his days of hanging out with Charlie over the summer.
Tiny graduated from High School and we celebrated it in rare form yesterday, even getting kicked out from Pizza Nova (which was kind of cool actually)
