Today is my friend Sarah’s birthday.

She’s this wonderfully weird person.  She has beautiful and expressive eyes and I love the way they look at people, full of judgment and emotion and humor.

I started drawing her eyes and thought about that time we played in the pouring rain and made leaf-boats. We ran around the neighborhood with our work clothes still on and jumped in puddles. I thought about her wet daring hair and went crazy with the watercolor.

Happy Birthday Sarah!
