I love my children’s art work. I use to be so anal about it as I use to save every drawing. When we moved from our townhouse we literally went through bags of children’s art work from our older girls. They were like, “Mom, why did you keep this?” I seriously hated the thought of throwing anything away. Several children later and I was completely over it. Though Jr. has been making it hard lately. Wait ’til you see what he’s made this week in my Saturday Top Five Laughs post!
A few weeks ago B brought me this drawing of her finger. Her first attempt, mind you! She has always loved art, drawing, painting, etc. And with Miss Moo’s arrival she had to put it on the back burner, so she’s been having fun getting back into it again. B says she has so many interests there’s not enough time to do them all! I can completely relate to that! There are so many things I’d love to do but cannot because of time constraints. Maybe we should split our time between all the things we are interested in and see if we can get even a little bit accomplished in each area? Kind of like setting up daily, weekly or monthly activities for ourselves. Hmmm…..something to think about.
Do you have a favorite hobby? Any artists in the family?
That’s really good! My mom is a painter/drawer {she’s actually majoring in art right now at my university} &my brother and sister can both draw really well. It totally skipped me.
My husband is very artistic but not me. I see some artistic abilities in our son. My son has a gift of acting, and has performed in several plays at our local children’s theatre. Your daughter did a great job! And yes, I used to keep ev.er.y.thing. I finally realized I couldn’t.
That’s really really good! My daughter dabbles in drawing and she’s really good, I seriously don’t know where she gets it from!
Both of my kids have quite a bit of artistic talent. My daughter has used hers a lot more than my son though. The finger drawing is really good! First try???
That is very good. My daughter draws too, she does computer art more than freehand though. She uses a tablet and photo shop and is completely self taught. She’s planning on designing video games when she’s finished university and hoping to be able to do character sketches and scene scapes for that.
That is a really great drawing. My oldest is really good at drawing, but my other boys are not very artistic at all.
