Actually, the Free-Ride offspring are just taking a few art classes this summer. We haven't packed them off to live in a garrett somewhere. (Not that we haven't given the matter thought.)
Here are some drawings from their first week.
By the younger Free-Ride offspring:
The light brown lop-eared rabbit in the picture is, apparently, an homage to the rabbit I had in grad school (long gone by the time either of the sprogs was on the scene).
By the elder Free-Ride offspring:
I'm especially fond of the cacti and the bug in the foreground.

The younger Free-Ride offspring's kindergarten class has been discussing rabbits for the last week or so. I can only hope the high school kids have been discussing the molecular structure of theobromine (the main alkaloid in chocolate) and working out the phase of matter of the interior of Peeps…
Dr. Free-Ride: Hey, can you guys draw me a picture with some of the wildlife you've seen in the last week?
Elder offspring: Sure!
Younger offspring: But ... I haven't seen any wildlife in the last week.
Dr. Free-Ride: What are you talking about? We see wildlife every day when we walk to…
In pondering the effects of nature versus nurture, the Free-Ride parents have become painfully aware that a large part of their offspring's environment is provided by the kids at school. This is how the sprogs came to be aware of the existence of The Disney Channel, whose offering seem to grate on…
The past week or so, I've been on a little bit of a cooking jag. This has not gone unnoticed by the Free-Ride offspring.
Elder offspring: Why have you been making us so many yummy things to eat this week?
Dr. Free-Ride: I guess I'm going to miss cooking for you while I'm away at the conference…
Thanks. Nice work sprogs. But this does NOT mean you should take next week off...
Art school!? The next thing you know, they're gonna be dressed all in black and sparking up doobies!
I like the lop bunny. He looks like grad school makes me feel.
The bug is great. In the first one...is that the Tardis? If so, these kids are showing promise!
These are fabulous. The bug looks like he's active and the bunny looks sad :)
Clearly a TARDIS in the first picture.
