A Beautiful Couple Taking A Leisurely Stroll

      I was looking for something in my drawer when I chanced upon this illustration (see photo above) of a couple who seemed in love with each other and was taking a leisurely stroll. I was told that it was a drawing by my seven-year old niece while her family was visiting us three weeks ago. It was an effortless, nonchalant and an original drawing, they said.

      I know that she loves to draw but this one’s really good—it has character, quite proportionate, a bit detailed, gotta love the girl’s eyelashes and the way she lovingly glances at her man. I don’t know if this is unusual to kids her age but many people in their seventies can only draw stick figures. Me, I learned to draw like this when I was already in college--and up to now, I still draw like this.
