My daughter is a creative. The doodles below are charming, filled with personality and all the whimsy that defines her.  They bring humor, storytelling and joy to those who see them

The cast of characters in these include:

Her brother – whom we affectionately call brother
Jorge – the black goldfish Kate gave her brother at christmas – that is thriving beautifully!
Kate – but of course
Cleo – our cat
Marble – our dog
 
As a theme, and in most of Kate’s doodles – Cleo is sitting on a pillow, this is because Cleo lives in our bathroom and really does sit on a pillow most of the time.

Brother has a fish

This year in math class Kate’s teacher had a baby that went through surgery, in an effort to cheer her teacher up, Kate did a doodle with Marble our dog as a character of some sort. I don’t remember the first one – boy scout marble or something like that, and hung it in the classroom. The next day she did another doodle, and soon there was a row of marble doodles in class. Kate did 100 doodle drawings all told. Can you imagine? The drawings became a source of entertainment not only for her math class but for every other math class as well.  Marble became iconic. We even took a field trip, Marble and I, so that the classroom could see our dog.  When Kate brought all the drawings home we sat and toured them together and sometimes I laughed so hard I could hardly stand it. They were really incredible.
