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

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.

Symmetry

Wee Picasso at an after school fun event - where Mommy wasn't the teacher! This was a project about symmetry. I was very impressed with her drawing. I did not get a picture of it fully painted. I will once the whole set is mounted.

She was the last one finished - as usual.

Seven years of paintings for Mother's Day

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.
