From time to time

From time to time I get to pass on some of the things I discover while scratching charcoal across the paper. From time to time Amy comes down from Barrow-in-Furness and wants to do some drawing.

This is a Good Thing. Amy can draw better than any of us, she can see and gauge the difference in an instant. But she has never been allowed to play. So I try to get some drawing going in a different way, letting go of preciousness and unleashing Amy's prodigious talents.

Amy's just beyond the age where she can join the Public Library and her enthusiasm and skills put us all to shame.
