My Mom’s an epitome of care, compassion, love and understanding. When we were growing up as kids, she would show us how to draw. Her favorite lesson was drawing the “Okuko” meaning chicken (no wonder my Pops was always asking of chicken, turkey much later LOL!) meaning chicken. That was the first thing we knew how to draw very well. Teaching us this single visual skill would greatly inspire quite a lot of things for me later in life.
