This is a portrait of "Papa kenju", by the young artist I featured earlier this week ~ my granddaughter. Mr. kenju maintains it doesn't resemble him that much, but I can say without reservation that it does.....(except there isn't really that much room between his nose and mouth, he doesn't have a mustache and he has better hair....lol!!)

Such a cute drawing! What a talent, your granddaughter. And those quotes are great, especially the last one. So true.
I knew right away it was Papa Kenju from his photo in New York.
Nice, butg I rather prefer Rick's red tomatoes and fish! The one that belongs in your kitchen...or mine.
PS I think it looks like him. I remember what he looks like from the award post.
What a wonderful likeness! :)
Hi Judy, a god likeness I'd say.
I love that picture of Mr. Kenju....your granddaughter did him proud.
What great quotes! The picture is of course, excelent as are all pictures by those under 15 no matter what they're of!
Here from Micheles tonight.
Hey K! I just wanted to let you know the picture isn't downloading on my machine. Strange!
So cute! That's how she sees grandpa. :-)
great drawing!!
AND I love that quote.....the incomprehensible is always obnoxious......right on. It completely explains the rude and wounded individuals in our lives that we can't quite figure out. they are obnoxious.....and we can comprehend their behaviours...
I love the Letitia quote.
So true.

Ok, blogger just ate my comment on how I like the drawing of Mr. Kenju and how I wonder if maybe your granddaughter doesn't think he needs a mustache. Michele sent me today to say hi, but it's always good to stop by and catch up.
Let us be the judge! Post a Papa kenju photo side-by-side with his portrait.
Your granddaughter is a budding artist.
I'm sure Mr. Kenju is proud of his portrait.
