“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”
~Pablo Picasso
Welcome to Magic Marker Monday! If you haven’t heard about Magic Marker Monday yet, click here and then hurry right back…
My eldest isn’t really a huge fan of Disney Pixar’s Cars movie — she’s more of a Disney Princess kind of girl.
Be that as it may, a few weeks ago I found her happily doodling Cars characters.
Why? Because her little brother absolutely adores all things Cars and a few weeks ago, he was sick.
So she pulled out her crayon box, perched herself next to him on the couch and spent a couple of hours creating crayon masterpieces of his every whim.
The one above is of Lightning McQueen.
Next we have Lightning McQueen being hauled by Mac…
And then Miss Sally…
And Chick Hicks…
And finally we have, Sheriff.
You know those days when none of the laundry is done, the house is a wreck, the kids are bickering and you’re second guessing your parenting qualifications?
Moments like this totally make up for them!
(And I think it’s pretty cute that her cars tend to look suspiciously like turtles…)
What about you? What has your little artist been up to this week? Link up and join in — we can’t wait to see!
