It's so fun having a house guest who loves to draw. Here's a painting Lucy made of the two of us watching the U.S. election results and Obama's speech. (Taken from her Tumblr blog.)

Lucy also played this song on my ukulele while she was staying with us, and you can see a video of it here!

And here's a photo of Lucy's sketchbook, the inked drawing before she painted it.

Keep an eye on Lucy's Tumblr page to see what else she's getting up to on her Oscar Wilde comic research trip!
