My Happy Little Painter

StrongStart Painting

Jade loves painting at StrongStart. These are her “happy totem poles”.

Rocking Snails

Rocking Snails

Early this morning, I saw an amazing snail during my walk.

When I arrived home, I told Jade all about it.

Instantly, she wanted to draw the snail with a bunch of friends.

Initially, Jade wanted to draw herself juggling … but she changed her mind while drawing.

Another of my creations during “Art Time” with my nieces and nephews at Grandma’s.

After I titled the image, I found a 1931 Mickey Mouse film with the same name.

Enclosed below is a link of the colourized version of the animation …

Funny Funky Fishes

Fishy Doodles

My wife created this kooky drawing during the cousin “art time” at grandma’s.

Claire and Fashionable Steppy

Steppy Drawing

Steppy has been a huge influence on Jade.

While at Grandma’s, Jade’s cousin Claire drew this beautiful picture of Steppy (above).

For some reason, Claire also fell in love with Steppy and now owns the same stuffy.

And of course, she’s also named her hamster “Steppy”.

Why is Steppy so fashionable ???

Maybe it’s Steppy’s small size ?? … the small hearts ?? … that soft pink colour ??

Maybe it’s because Steppy will always cheer you up and make you smile :-)

Liam The Scream’s “Red Autumn”

Red Autumn / Splatter Paint

At Grandma’s place, Jade had some exciting moments with her cousin Liam.

Liam loves to “splatter paint” and he created this wonderful autumn image (above).

My wife also created this “edgy” snake for Liam’s arm with face paints (below).

Liam’s hamming it up to scare his mom (my sister).

Sonia’s Strawberry Dream

At Grandma’s, Jade had a chance to re-connect with her older cousin Sonia.

Lots of times, I’ll see an expression on Jade’s face and I’ll think of Sonia.

Above is a surreal drawing made by Sonia.

Below is a photo of Sonia when we went to a favourite Vietnamese restaurant.
