Another day, another memory!  My children had this little pull toy when they were very small.  I think my parents had gotten this for them, as it would have been only a few years after dad had gotten his pilot’s license.  As they toddled around the house pulling it by the string, the little pilot’s head would turn back and forth as he scanned the skies.  So full of memories, this toy is my painting subject du jour.  I am still using the limited acrylic palette, with the tiniest bit of cad yellow on the highlights.  I had cleaned my brushes and closed up my palette before I realizes I had forgotten to paint in the pull string!  So, I swooshed it in with one stroke in yellow oxide.   Painting number 1098 in 1098 days and Day 5 in the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge.  :)
