#Toucan

On the very first snow day, EJ  was inspired to draw this bird.  It is an image of toucan.  He always  over criticized his work but I thought he did a great job.  I mean for a person who doesn't know how to draw, I think  it's beautiful plus the fact that I am big fan of their artwork.  I think it isn't bad.  What do you think?

Here is a photo of a toucan.

Toucans according to Wikipedia, are members of the family Ramphastidae of near passerine birds from the Neotropics. The Ramphastidae family is most closely related to the American barbets. They are brightly marked and have large, often colorful bills. The family includes five genera and about forty different species. The name of this bird group is derived from the Tupi word tukana, via Portuguese. The family includes toucans, aracaris and toucanets; more distant relatives include various families of barbets and woodpeckers in the suborder Pici.

Artist Premier Set Art KIt: Thanks Santa!

EJ has been very good this year so Santa  have rewarded him for that!. He wish for an art kit that he could call his own because she borrowed  stuff from his sister whenever he wanted to draw something.  I am glad that Santa brought him these.  He was delighted to see it!

 One of his gazillion Christmas list is to have his own "professional" art kit and his wish came true.  Great job Santa!  

He also got different kinds of pencil for sketching.  

I arranged  all of it  at his Avengers Vault that he got for his birthday.

 He told us "I feel like an artist now that I have my own set!"

Here is the very first   sketch he did.  He wasn't  satisfied of this but I thought he did a great job.  I am  my children's number one fun so I am always biased lol.

I love  gifts like this because it really spark the children's artistic creativity.

Father's Day Paintings

 The little  artist wannabes  have been busy at home  preapring something for their Dad on Father's day.  They know how much   their father work so hard to provide us with  a comfortable life so they want to   make him feel appreciated.

This is what  Rye Bean have painted.

 A "hand-made" card, this isn't finish yet.  We still have to  put few more touches  on it to make it more prettier.

 EJ is not much of an artist but I love how this came out. I think he did a wonderful job with the  colors.  The palm trees  need some editing but other than that, Ithink it's gorgeous!

 We bought some frames at the Dollar Tree and  put each of them  in frames.

 I hope thatwhen they are older, they would  still be as sweet as they are now to us.

I am sure that my husband would absolutely love these!

 Happy Gather's Day to all the Dads.  I wish that my father is still around but I know that he is always looking down and smiling at me.  He was my biggest supporter when I was growing up.  I miss you Pa!
