2008-06-28T21:11:00.000-07:00

Lauren had a Bear Parade at Preschool but they decorated their boxes on Wed. So we made one at home (Wed is our home day). Foil instead of painting was quick and easy. We cut up some other art projects for easy decorations. It turned out great.

These two masterpieces from Rachel are hanging in our front door window.

2006-10-21T14:24:00.000-07:00

Dove Home Gallery

2006-10-14T22:20:00.000-07:00

We like to put the girls' special artwork on the wall by our front door. Usually I just add or change the pictures piecemeal but today I took all the old pictures down and put up new ones. Rachel's are the top rows and Lauren's the lower ones because Lauren sometimes likes to move the lower ones around (i.e. rip the corners).

Girl and Home Variations by Rachel

2006-10-13T20:21:00.000-07:00

Did you ever wonder how a 4-year-old thinks? Well here is a window into Rachel's very deliberate, methodical painting process. Dots-outline edges-heart-orange-black. That's Lauren's cute dots on the left of the first picture.

Letters from Lauren

2006-10-13T20:16:00.000-07:00

These are Lauren's "L's" and "M's"

Jewelry Designs

2006-10-13T20:12:00.000-07:00

Rachel drew these pretty necklaces. She was especially proud of the heart and star pendants.

Rachel's gallery

2006-09-28T22:36:00.001-07:00

Rachel did this series of drawings on my (ex-) pad of paper. After I photographed them, she decided that she needed to be the one to take pictures of them. So these are her drawings and photos.

Lauren's colorful artwork

2006-09-28T11:57:00.000-07:00

Lauren usually only uses one or two colors so these are extra special.

How does your garden grow?

2006-09-03T22:29:00.000-07:00

Rachel has been on a flower and bug theme lately.

Tons o' Window Art

2006-09-03T22:13:00.000-07:00

The girls are addicted to Window Art. Mom outlines the chosen picture and then the girls squeeze paint like a mustard bottle to fill in the colors. The design dries overnight and the next day you can stick it to a window or mirror.

Here are the sliding glass doors to our backyard.

Rachel's side

Rachel's mirror in her room.

Happy Faces

2006-09-03T22:11:00.000-07:00

Here are Lauren's first drawings of faces.

Sweet Sisters

2006-08-31T10:46:00.000-07:00

The two girls really adore each other. Rachel wrote "Lauren is the like to share her all toys. Rachel I love Lauren."

Colored Pen Snow

2006-08-31T10:43:00.000-07:00

Lauren likes to pound the paper with pens. Many of our pen tips are quite splintered.

Rachel = Belle

2006-08-31T10:37:00.000-07:00

I get to do some drawings by request. Usually it is Rachel wanting to color her favorite princess, Belle. She wants to be Belle. Princess Rachel doesn't work for her.

A normal smile please

2006-08-31T10:27:00.000-07:00

Lauren likes watercolors but needs to work on her regular smile.

To my future husband

2006-08-31T10:23:00.000-07:00

Rachel decided that she wanted to marry Jackson, a sweet boy in her class at school. After many proposals, he accepted. Below is a picture of the happy couple.

Crayon on Paper - July 9

2006-08-31T10:17:00.000-07:00

Rachel likes drawing and writing sentences on her work. This one says "I love you more than past 15 million Mommy and Alex". Rachel wouldn't say why she wrote Alex and not Daddy.

Lauren likes to use these twistable crayons as well.
She can make capital "L"'s and knows that they are her letter.

Window Art

2006-08-31T10:03:00.000-07:00

Why

2006-08-31T09:06:00.000-07:00

I take pictures of a lot of the girls' artwork. I figure that the artwork may not always be kept or last but the photos will. So instead of picking and choosing a just a couple shots for the DoveGirls blog I have set up this DoveArt blog for their more extensive portfolios. And maybe when I have more time I can add some of my art as well.
