MSG Rhino

I tried a little something new for this one- no ink, black color-erase colored pencil for the "inks", then watercolor washes, then touched up some places with black colored pencil. I like the softer lines and texture that the colored pencil gave.

That's talent!

A 3 year-old's imagination

Alfred specifically wanted a red frog with a white circle (like Iron Man) and a small green frog on his back (like Hulk) Well... it's what he wanted and he LOVED it! :)

Tough luck!

Pretty hat... for a koala

Crabby turtle

Pokey Hat

And so begins a series of hats... with various animals under them.

Picky customers...

Turtle Hat

On Thursday, Alfred requested a hippo with a turtle on his back. When he saw this he said "I told you on his back- not his head!" Yeah, he's a pretty tough art director.

Alligator Chomp

Alfred requested an alligator chomping something- maybe we watch too much "Gator Boys."

Party!

Hide and Seek

How hard can it be to find a giraffe?!

Fun at the park

Snuggled at my feet

How many kids do you know that get to sleep with a real giraffe?!

Night or day

My giraffe shadow puppet was a huge hit- it always brought a smile to her face!

Sketch for Alfred

Alright...it happened. My preschooler saw Nora's picture for her lunchbox on Wednesday and told me- "Maybe you could draw me a cat and a dog and a bear for me to have at school." So- it's on, luckily only two days a week for now but here's the first of "Sketches for Alfred." I'll post them on the weekend allowing me to post a new drawing 7 days a week.

Growing like a weed!

I can't believe how fast giraffes grow!

New games

There's no limit to the games you can play with a giraffe!

Just plain fun!

We were inseparable!

Love!

It was love at first sight- for both of us!

What a present!

"On my ninth birthday, I got a baby giraffe for my birthday- I have the coolest parents in the world!"

Hillbilly Hot tub

Live Action!

Ode to the Turtleman!

Hillbilly Love

Swamp People 3

We are such fans of many of the "Hillbilly" shows now on cable, i.e. Duck Dynasty and Call of the Wildman- great entertainment!
