It’s a helicopter. He drew the lines at the bottom first, then a slow circle to connect with the blade on top. He’s four, so it doesn’t look like much. But art starts out that way – small.
It’s a scrap of paper with scribbles on it. But those scribbles represent thoughts I had while driving, thoughts that may develop into the key points for an entire chapter in my next book. I jotted them down in the Target parking lot. It was raining, I think.
