Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

A drawing I apparently made for the school newsletter in Kindergarten (1972). I have a vague memory of this. I don't suppose a public school could get away with such a religious theme these days.
My Mom was the type to save all kinds of stuff and send it to you out of the blue someday when the fancy struck her. This was one of the last things I got from her, in a package which also included a lock of my then-blond hair in an envelope marked "Nils 11 months". I really miss Mom at Christmas, they way she brought everything and everyone together. My little brother Peter is coming tonight, but just staying for a day on his way to somewhere else. Something about a girl.
