still life drawing
i always try to follow N’s lead when it comes to the art projects we do around here. her natural inclination lately has been toward the realm of still life drawing.
the other day she picked up a pen and drew on the back of a cardboard notepad, and then came and showed it to me. she said, “these are all of the tummy-symbols of the care bears. it’s so much fun to draw what i’m looking at!”
love-a-lot bear wasn't available for the photo shoot. he might be busy under the couch.
so, of course, the following day momma whipped up a pretty bowl of fruit for N to draw — i mean, why not start out in a classic way? the little one was thrilled!
she wanted to draw a few objects by themselves, as well.
the apple
the tomato
a few tomatoes as a thank you to our neighbors who brought us some from their yard
next, N said she wanted to draw “a different bowl of fruit that i’m thinking of in my head.”
the bowl of fruit N pictured in her head
masterpieces!
we had such a fun morning! so sweet and quiet to draw together…
(so quiet that even i got in on the action a wee bit…)
