Little Madison came to model for me but she was very shy and didn't know what pose to take. She began crying when she saw that people would be watching, but I promised her that they would look at me, and not at her. I asked her what she did for fun and she said she loved to draw. I said, "Me too! Would you like to use my drawing pencils and paper and make some drawings for me?" For over two hours she sat and drew, while I created this little sculpture. Her purple shoes led me to believe that deep inside this shy little girl, there was a big artist inside.
