Mabel Watson Payne recently made the amazing face above at an art class sponsored by the city of San Francisco for its toddler-citizens. Then when it was done she told her Daddy that she wanted to give it to me the next time I came over. So when I showed up on Friday, that is what she did, much to my amazement and joy. Later that same afternoon I myself made the fish-octopus-whale picture below while Mabel stood over me picking out colors and giving exact instructions about each detail.
