There was a great big snow storm in Newfoundland yesterday

(“great big” for a Torontonian)

and when the power finally came back

I still didn’t know what to do with myself because the internet was down

and I thought that was silly, with a house full of art supplies

so I laid out all my drawings for my children’s illustration portfolio (still in the works)

and found this, which was drawn at the kitchen table in the Little Yellow House

in Duntara, Newfoundland back in September. The beginning of it all.

So I sprawled out on the floor like I did when I was five,

and I painted it and lost track of time.

It was nice.
