Lots of Artists in Our Family

Paint Party Friday PEEPS: I made a mistake linking to this post. Please find my name further down the list at PPF to find my post meant for today! So sorry for the goof up!
 
 I saw these apples at my daughters last night and thought I might like to draw them...It's quite a still life isn't it?

My daughters talent lies in the culinary arts...

...so she, on the other hand,  was canning them...they came from the tree in their backyard.
 These are to be gifts to family at Thanksgiving later in the week...


My grand daughter is sitting painting under a framed piece of her earlier art...

While my grand son cuts out a drawing he made using my Tom-Tom pens...

He's very proud of his interesting little creature...

And I would like to draw him from this photo!

My grand daughter shows off her finished painting too...


While they were making art I was drawing them in ink...

And finally, my grand daughter made a little story in a book I gave her for writing and drawing...



And I share all of our art for Sunday Sketchers...(see the other artists there via the icon on my side bar)....I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Have a Blessed Day!

PS: Yesterday I got my 200th follower to my blog! That's huge to me and therefore I will talk about a give away I want to have next Friday. Come back to leave a comment then and to find out what it is I will be giving away.

  14. I don't think there is a better gift we can share with our children and grand children than the tools to create, art gives them confidence I think, I love that you sketched them doing their art, that is a very cool moment to capture in time, and wow they are very talented!!

  16. Nothing better than time spent with your grands! I wish I could spend time with mine like you get with yours....someday I hope. I've been absent for awhile and miss you all. I guess I need to pull myself up by my bootstraps and get back into the art world.
