More Inktober -- the teenage muse

The Inktober drawing today is about the sudden change
in the world when a child steps onto the edge of teenage
life.  This can happen as early as 11, but by 13 it's
in full force.

As parents you are no longer right about much.  And
even when you try hard to please your preteen,
you can botch it up.  I was calling this bad hair day.
Because the model is angry about a haircut, but
I think I'll just call it.  Really?  or  Moody.

Have a loving your teenagers day.

Why oh why, Barbara aka Alessandra, do I persuade myself that this young rebellious person might be autobiographical? I know, go ahead, tell me that I’m sniffing up the wrong tree again.
One thing for sure I do know, an ink-October baby you are 😍
Xo,
Ciao

I don't know what to say to you dear Gavriella,

I thought it was Gabriella? No? I am most definitely an Inktober baby in more ways
than one, as this is my very first Inktober. I was of course a young rebellious person,
but not very. So mild at it. I wasted that period of my life. I do revel in your
persistence.

XOXOXOXOXOXO Barbara
