Today's artwork

Last year, to encourage the students to draw and write, Parker's teacher let the kids use Post-it notes to write on, and then post them around the room...'labeling' things. Parker hasn't forgotten about it, and she will occasionally get the Post-it bug again and do a series of labels or drawings.

This morning, she had the idea to trace around a skull eraser she got during trick or treat, and then fill in the details. Pretty clever I thought.

Freehand drawing the features



The entire series. No idea why she chose this place to post them.

Close up detail

Back at it this afternoon, in Sleeping Beauty dress and Hannah Montana wig.

By the way, this is my view on most days.....me looking from the kitchen, and Parker the raccoon climbing up the barstool and poking around in her basket of junk, or my basket of junk (much more fun) or finding pieces of paper or twist ties or junk mail or other treasures. Between her subject matter, her love of found objects and her personal style, if she decides to be an art major, she's going to fit right in.
