growth charts

when i was asked by a good friend in NY to make her daughter a 'dora' growth chart, i didn't have a clear vision of how i wanted the chart to turn out. when I started painting the scenery, it just sort of came together. i knew i was on the right track when my own two little guys walked in and said, "is that a dora one, mommy?" before i even had 'dora' or 'boots' on the chart!

happy birthday, alexis!
