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.

Paintings of 2013 - Piping Plover

Another favourite of 2013 - I love this as much as my beloved Peacock painting. An endangered Piping Plover painted for Gran.

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.

Mother & Baby - Drawing Series

This is a series we started tonight. Wee Picasso picks if she is doing the Mother or Baby - then we use the same page to create the image. We really enjoyed making these and I think there will be more in this series. Wee Picasso feels they should be in a gallery show.

Gobble, Gobble

Wee Picasso painted this fantastic Turkey as a donation to our local food bank. My office raised funds to buy 320 Turkey dinners and she went along to help present this on air. I usually avoid pic's of Wee Picasso on the page - but could not resist this one. I did cover her name which is signed on the bottom corner by her age. My coworker painted the green background in advance (we only had one hour to paint this) and left a space for her turkey. I had a picture of what I had wanted her to create. I explained the meaning of a commission piece of art. She finished the Turkey then told me she wanted to paint pink hearts all over it. I suggested a compromise and she painted her hearts and swirls in light green. When interviewed she told them she wanted the people who had no money or food to smile when they saw the funny turkey.

Spooky

Wee Picasso did some Halloween decorating tonight. She drew this picture, which I coloured on the computer while she coloured with pencil crayons.

Spring Spiderman

Here is a fun spiderman I found when cleaning up my files. Spiderman is very popular in our house right now.

Horse & Pup

Here is a horse and puppy drawing Wee Picasso made for her friend's fridge. Image is from her head (not looking at any pictures/drawing books)

Sharks & Dinos

I love it when Wee Picasso draws something new. Here are some Sharks & Dinos she made for a little boy in her swimming class.

Ready for the Birds

Birdhouses we painted for Earth day. These will soon be hanging in our “secret woods”. Wee Picasso painted vines with berries for the bird’s on her big flower house.
