An Aspiring Artist

Hi everyone,

I know that this artwork may look a bit like scribbling, but there really is a method to my madness. Let me describe for you what you are looking at, just like if you were in an art museum looking at the work of a master with a guide to explain it to you. I've already practiced by explaining it to Mom and Dad so now my presentation should be polished.

Do you notice the little boy's hair, face, and arm? His hair is a bit messy (on purpose), and his face and arm give him a bit of color. He is eating a slice of pizza. His mouth has red around it because that is his messy face after eating his pizza with stingy sauce. Do you see the orange lines on the left and right sides as well as over the top of him? Those are the beams for the walkway through the wall. His shirt just gives a bit more color.

So, what do you think? Budding artist, if I do say so myself!

It's Been That Long?

Hi everyone,

Has it really been that long since I posted. Yikes!! Toward the beginning of my hiatus I was low on blog fodder. Now I have blog fodder but not a lot of time.

I'll see if I can work it out with mom to take a naptime or two to get caught up. I don't know if she will buy into that plan, but hopefully in the next day or so I can get something up.

Until next time . . .

House of Cardboard

Hi everyone,

Who doesn't want a 4 room cardboard house sitting in their living room? Well, I can name one person, but I can also name two others that are just fine with it! Before we tossed the boxes that Mom and Dad's bed came in we decided to have a little fun. Why don't I take you on a tour of my humble home?

This is the view from the outside at a distance. You will notice Bulls-Eye my horse, Beevo my bull, and Rescue my dog hanging out around the outside. I also have some buffalo horns made of tinker toys over my front door.

Here is a close up on the front door. I did have some paper hanging down, kind of similar to a Japanese cloth on the entry door, but I eventually took that down.

A view of the front entry way and my living room. Notice the portrait of our family on the wall. That was courtesy of Mom. You'll also notice my cat, Alicia (pronounced A-lee-cee-a) to greet me just inside the door, as well as my lantern so I can see what I'm doing when it is dark.

A close up of our family portrait. I thought it to be a pretty good likeness of us.

My kitchen complete with a pipe stove that went out of the roof.

The proud homeowner!

 

Artwork courtesy of Dad! It compliments my buffalo horns, don't you think?

It stayed in our living room for exactly one week. That one member of our family that had a hard time with it decided that she could really only handle it for that long. Our neighbor came over to visit one evening and couldn't get around it so he had to stand in the doorway; after that she decided that maybe that would be long enough.

It sure was fun while it lasted. And I got to keep my artwork!

Until next time . . .
