the LIPS have it.......

love these......made in a jiff while she was watching tv

"the eyes have it..."

Kaela was messing around with some eyes she found on pinterest.  She has been practicing reflection and luminescence.  

I think they turned out beautifully.

Baby Pearl

Baby Pearl Camelia drawn for a local competition....

album cover

Kaela had to design an album cover in her art class using an existing one as inspiration.

She loves Maroon Five so used their latest....."Overexposed"

as inspiration to create this....

pretty neat, huh!?

ROAR!

Kaela's school mascot is the tiger so for the last big art project of the 9 weeks, her teacher assigned everyone in class a tiger to draw.

Kaela found a picture and put it on her desk but when she turned her back, it somehow ended up on another girl's desk......hmmm.
She wasn't happy but didn't want to make a stink so she chose another picture.

It was a more difficult pose of a tiger lying down with his head on his legs. The hardest part was getting the ruff around his head right because part of it is hidden under his leg.

Once done, she was very pleased with how it turned out. Her smile pretty much says it all.



what a pretty kitty!

Bookmarks

Kaela had to do a book report for her English class. She chose to do a project using bookmarks.
Each bookmark represents something from the book "Dragon's Kiss." On the back of each bookmark is information about the story.




This is Audun (protagonist)


This is the entrance to the castle in the icy north (setting)


and this is the plot line

They turned out so well that her teacher is submitting them to the local parish fair for display.

Suki...

Curly Girl's birthday gift to me! I love it!!! You can click on the photo to enlarge it


Now it is back to school so we sadly say good bye to Miss Margie for the school year!

I wish she had more time to take Margie's art class but her academic classes take priority.

New kitty

Here is Curly Girl's latest kitty. She hasn't named her yet....but isn't she GORGEOUS?!

Blue Boy...

Here is Curly Girl's latest.
She adores Blue Jays...we have a large nest of them in our yard and she is constantly going out to see what they are doing.
She takes pictures of them....or tries to. They fly off as soon as they hear the patio door knob turn!

Smokey

Curly Girl's latest from her art class.

His name is Smokey isn't he lovely!





Here is a close up of his eye and forelock.



You did a great job Curly Girl!

Sweet.......

Here is Curly Girl's latest.....just in time for Easter!

Leo...........

Curly Girl just finished this little kitty in her after school art class! Isn't he GORGEOUS!

She named him Leo, after her own kitty at home, "Leonardo Da Kitty."

Check out his eyes.....she tried to make them glow and experimented on her own.....I think she did a beautiful job.

Splash!

This is another picture Curly Girl did at her summer art class. She was very particular about wanting to draw a picture of a dolphin splashing into the water. She was THRILLED when she found something to use in class.
She has a 'thing' for dolphins so this one is really special to her!

Here kitty, kitty....

This is Curly Girl's latest creation from her Summer art class.
I love the two little kitties......she did a good job. Doesn't hurt that the background has LSU colors! :-)

Little Ellie

This is Curly Girl's first project for her Summer art class.
The teacher handed her a stuffed elephant so she could determine where she was 'artistically'..........she came up with a 'zoo' scene.
I especially like the little elephant trunk sneaking from behind to nab some peanuts out of the bowl. Oh and the people at the very top...kind of hard to see in the photo!
