An Artist in Training =)

Logan is having so much fun with his new art journal, he doesn't want to put it down! He wanted to learn how to draw faces, so I have started with teaching him the proportions of the face. How to draw the lines through the face to lay out the eyes, nose and mouth. And then I just let him go with it, to make his faces look how he sees them. This is about him being able to express himself. I am very impressed!!! For a boy who went from drawing basic smiley faces last week, to this in just one try......

Not too shabby!!!
He used to want to be a teacher, now he wants to be an artist..... and a paleontologist of course =).
Off to draw with my little budding artist!!

Crazy Days

Here I sit watching my crazy boys unwind from their dump truck races down the hallway... the smell of baking cinnamon coated muslin and paint fills the air **cough cough**... all I can think is, I love this time! They are quiet... and oh so cute.... I'm having a productive morning..... what can be better? Soon my 5yo will be on the afternoon bus to school.... and my 2yo will be sleeping!! That's when Momma can really be productive!! If I don't sit here too long lol!
Later I will have some "girl time". A friend is coming to visit.... and get her hair colored. She is getting married in July... so there will be much talk of dresses, flowers, veils, old, new, borrowed, and BLUE (which is my favorite color... just in case you were wondering). Aside from the fact that i will not be seeing hubby till late (he's taking college courses tues and thurs nights)... this will be a good day.

Here's a peek at what i'v been working on. These two are on ebay right now..... awaiting a new home. If you would like to take a better look just click on the pics.
God Bless you today!!!
