Art for Art’s Sake

February8

My mom and dad got us an art easel for Christmas, and boy do the kids enjoy it! We are even taking art lessons. A wonderful woman in our area has agreed to teach family lessons once a week, so I get to learn too! So naturally I had to put up a bulletin board to show off all their artwork… the fridge was just not big enough!

Here’s Conan putting it together with much help and encouragement from Burke…

Keane LOVES to play dress up, and dressing up as an artist and using the chalkboard is just over-the-top awesome!

Burke really takes his art work seriously. He loves to experiment with different brushes and techniques, and doesn’t just haphazardly mix all the colors like some toddlers.

The yellow rocket ship on the left is Burke’s, and the abstract piece on the right is Keane’s.

Thanks again Grandma & Grandpa Lovelady for the easel! We love it!
