BAM!

I love this picture my daughter drew a while back. I finally had a chance to work on it, and I was happy to have Sam help me with the colors. There were some things I needed clarifying too. I thought the dots were fireworks. When it was time to color them, she decided on white. That reminded me more of stars. But then, she told me it was confetti or the lights from a disco ball (no, we do not have a disco ball in our dining room, but what a great idea!). 

I also wasn't sure what the tall pillars were. I asked if they were candles or drinks. She said drinks and then she asked what color wine was. So, I gave us each a glass of red wine (why is his glass bigger than mine?).

Kids' art can be interpreted differently depending on the viewer, but it's always nice to hear what things are from the artists themselves.

Oh, and I'm planning on listing this one on etsy as well, so please check out my shop when you have a chance: 

We are a Family

What's that old saying...the cobbler's kids never have new shoes? Something like that right? Well, if I was a cobbler, my kids would be running around barefoot (ok, they do anyways). As it is, they have been lacking in the custom art area lately. I originally started turning Ethan's art into Raspberries, and even though he's been busy working on Pokemon battle drawings and a new comic  ("Hot Dog and the Stampede of Evil Popcorn" about a hot dog with super powers), I have thankfully saved much of his older work, when he was more into drawing girls, fairies and mermaids.

That being said, I haven't done nearly as much with Samantha's drawings (let's not even get into the issues of being the 2nd child!). And she has so many adorable drawings that have inspired me. I finally carved out some time to finish a piece she created a while back. I'm looking forward to doing more. : )
