This terrier, done in chalk pastels by Joel, was hanging
in our little bathroom two weeks ago. I really like it,
but was ready for a small change.
A spring assignment from his 2nd grade teacher was to
draw an invertebrate. He looked through a Birds 'n Blooms magazine and
chose to do a monarch butterfly. First he drew it with pencil, then filled
in with colored pencil. I was mighty impressed with his detailed work and wanted to
preserve it.
So I decided to frame it, using this doggie frame turned on the
vertical.
Got so excited while handling the pictures that I kind of forgot there was glass inside the frame.
Woops! Painful mistake. I cut myself in three places.
Went to find a Band-aid, but was prevented by a closet
too messy to allow me quick access to one. Humbling mistake.
By the time I did find one, my wounds were healed.
New art. (Click on the photo for detail.)
What I think is cute
is his indiscriminate punctuation.
"Joel, 4-27-10
age, 8."

Band-aid.

Ouch! There are hazzards to getting organized!
Love Joel's art. The terrier is amazing!
I have several crayon (very primary and fresh) pieces from grandauhter El that I would love to frame. Backburner things, ya know?!
I love decorating with personal art. It's probably why there is still nothing behind the sofa--no one has created something that large in this family or among my friends (that I know of) and I don't want to make it a shrine of family portraits. So the wall is bare and waiting. Oh well. Very backburner thing.
