Day 5 Best Friend

Portraits are hard. Especially when it’s of a person you know. I apologize to my friend in this portrait for the weirdness of it. I copied from a profile photo on her Facebook page. I’ve been friends with A since I was 12 years old. The drawing of her below is from my journal from when I was a teenager and it’s one of my favorite sketches.

The drawing done by the kids were interesting. My daughter chose a teacher’s aide who jokes around by calling out to her, “Hey best friend” whenever she saw her at school. My son drew a photo of his best friend, a girl who recently moved away but the second girl in the drawing is his representation of himself when he plays a certain game with her. What imagination!
