asakiyumeI decided to buy some street-art-quality chalks and see how long they last (answer: not long! This would be an expensive hobby...)
And I drew this...
The nice thing about chalk art is you can keep on tinkering with it. I might add more red to the face.
I also ended up decorating my jeans:
The healing angel and her significant other are living across our household and the significant other's household (yes: we know--we consider ourselves all one infection/virus family), and yesterday evening they were over, and we all watched Frozen II together, which was relaxing. I enjoyed seeing the sisters' different hairstyles, and the songs were fun. The plot was a little lurchy, but it seemed like it advanced both sisters further along good-for-them trajectories and that it gave young fans more of what they liked.
Then the healing angel and her significant other retired to the healing angel's room, and Waka and I watched the Easter vigil streamed from our church. In addition to the priest, there was a cantor and some readers--the cantor sang the Exsultet, which gladdened my heart.

I'm glad you could watch the Easter vigil.
My mother was surprisingly impressed with Frozen II, having not seen the first one.

Although the pose and the colors are different, your deer reminded me of imagery on some wonderful Indigenous ceramics of the Southwest and Northern Mexico, both ancient and modern:
Mimbres bowl (ancient)
Mimbres-style olla by Lucy Lewis of Acoma Pueblo, (modern)
Acoma fine-line plate by Carolyn Concho of Acoma Pueblo (modern)
Polychrome bowl by Randy Nahohai of Zuñi Pueblo (modern)
(I love this stuff!)
