Monday Art Day's theme last week was flight. Unfortunately, I haven't had a very productive week so far. I have my grandson full time again for a while and I am trying to get acclimated to having a toddler full time again. So this is a couple of days late, but it's done, so yay!
I don't normally post information about my grandson on this blog, but for those of you who are following his blog I wanted to let you know that we received some really good news about his genetic testing recently. So, if you are interested I posted the information there. T
Hya Karen, congrats on the good news about the tests!
ReplyDeleteAs far as this work, it's pretty magical. Just great stuff happening in it. Takes you back to childhood .... not that I ever strapped a newspaper on my back, I wasn't that smart :)

ReplyDeletethank you all, I really appreciate the support!
ReplyDeleteVery cleverly composed! The act of flight and being carefree seems perfect to express your great news! : )
ReplyDeleteHi, that is great news, there are amazing things going on in gene therapy =)
ReplyDeleteHere I come to save the daaaaayyyy! Oh, that's great. How did you DO that with the newspaper??! It looks awesome. I was trying to figure out who that guy is smiling in the newsprint.
ReplyDeleteYay to the news! I had never heard of LCA before. Thank you for teaching me something new. There is hope, and I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed. Good luck with the adjustments, and enjoy having the little one around.
Thanks everyone, and Bella, for the newspaper I used a picture of a newspaper and cut and pasted it in over my already painted cape which I did with grays, then aged it in photoshop, honestly I'm not sure who the guy is, a musician I believe. oh and I warped it in photoshop to make it look flowy underneath. She was fun.
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool! You are so smart!
ReplyDeleteI glad about your good news.
ReplyDeleteLovely illustration.The clothespin cape made me smile, my brother and I would clothespin on towels when we were kids.I the tartan pants
Oh this is magical and really conjures up the feelings of magic and imagination! You are a good Grandma ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd this is even later...but I am just now looking at these pictures, and I absolutely LOVE them....this one especially--no, not especially because there are others I really really like too--but this one, she looks like quite the girl--strong and determined. FABULOUS colors and patterns!
