Make my haunted house real!

Here is Wee Picasso's halloween drawing - placed into photoshop

The Eagle has Landed

Wee Picasso created this Eagle for our local River Festival. Her class helped tag baby Eagles this spring. We are very fortunate to have many Eagles around our home. Age 8

How to Weave

First - Get a Loom 

 Next - put the colour yarn you want on the loom 

 Then - put the yarn in the shuttle for the loom - as many (colours) as you want 

Last - put the shuttle in and out and in and out of the yarn

Easter Birds

A lovely day to paint spring birds - we are so happy to see them back after this long winter.

Birthday Portrait

Wee Picasso drew this portrait for a very special lady on her birthday.

Wee Lighthouse 2014

Wee Picasso has been chosen to participate in a creative art event for 2014 Sesquicentennial celebrations on PEI. Lighthouse2014 has chosen 20 artists to add their creative flair to a magnificent 6ft lighthouse sculpture. These will be displayed in the City of Summerside during the summer of 2014. Wee Picasso's lighthouse will be sponsored by Vector Aerospace which is a provider of maintenance, repair and overhaul services for fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft operators around the globe. Which is really exciting for any 7 year old! I see a big interest in helicopters and airplanes coming soon. Wee Picasso's friends Allan & Parry at Wired Trust will be providing a mini studio for her lighthouse and providing support in supplies and with the Teenangels will be adding their "handiwork" to the design. Lighthouse 2014 will be hosting a gala event in June - until then we will only be sharing small details of the work in progress. Needless to say - Wee Picasso is excited to participate in this BIG project and to add her small part to the 2014 party!

The Universe

Unbeknownst to me - Wee Picasso has an understanding of our Galaxy and the Universe. 

I must say the Universe looks really funky!

I did not know stuff at age seven.

Found drawings

Here is a little collection of drawings - Wee Picasso did these watching drawing lessons online. Link - (coming soon)

Stop, Block & Tell #stopcyberbullying

Our friend Parry Aftab was looking for some artwork. Stop, Block and Tell is the motto she is teaching Canadian students in regards to online safety. Wee Picasso and I designed this concept (she has attended a summit on this topic and a meeting with our local gov't officials.) then she executed it in paint. She choose the mean words to write under the "block" section.

#Stopcyberbullying + Art for Premier

Wee Picasso made this artwork at my office today while preparing for a meeting with the Premier of the province. She is on a task force for youth to Stop Cyber Bullying lead by Parry Aftab. I have prints from Yellowknife artists Dave Brosha and Robbie Craig of the Northern Lights. This is her picture of the Northern lights with a reminder to Stop Cyber Bullying, she gave it to the Premier of our province today.

A gift of art

Someone is getting this really nice drawing as a gift tomorrow!

Egyptian Princess

I discovered this lovely Egyptian while cleaning Wee Picasso's room today

Fashions

Wee Picasso was VERY quiet this morning. Turns out she was into her new sewing supplies. Seems she needs to expand her drawing studio into sewing.

Santa Baby

Gran has taught Wee Picasso how to create with Fabric. This was a school project that took on a new life. She designed the concept, made a pattern, then made the rest from Gran's scraps. I (Mom) helped by supervising, stiching him closed once stuffed, a few knots, the "sharp scissor" cutting, the hot glue for eyes and jet packs and sewing the silver laces on his roller skates.

R2-D2

Sometimes I just come across drawings in Wee Picasso's room. R2-D2 was on her desk tonight.

Sparkle Owl Family

I helped Wee Picasso with this Owl Family. I did the basic owl shapes - and later the outlines & some if the white. She found a huge selection of sparkles at Winners - so now they glitter! This painting is in her room. She says the nocturnal owls watch over her at night.

Here are a few other Owls she made recently for her brother....

One Fancy Peacock

Wee Picasso painted this lovely Peacock this weekend. She found a picture online that she liked and drew it on the canvas. Then layered the tail colours - and finished it with some swirls from a brush marker.
