Two drawings of Beethoven, one detailed and one childlike, both angry.

Beethoven 1978 - NFS

First Composition

This crayon drawing (right) accompanied my mother's card (left) to my dad on his 32nd birthday in 1978. I didn't want to miss out on the fun and being 4 years old, I didn't have the resources to offer much, so I made my own card. I could tell by the way he looked at me that there was  something special in those crayon scribbles. Thank you, Dad, for "seeing" me in that moment.
