A very funny and lovely thing happened to me today. As it was a public holiday here, most of our day was spent pottering around the house enjoying some time with our boys. I cooked a chocolate cake with Harry and Roast Chicken this afternoon for dinner. I picked some flowers and herbs out of our garden and I tidied up the house. Brad and I finally sat down in the lounge room tonight after we had fed the boys and bathed them and I looked over my shoulder and spotted Harry on the floor drawing. I went over to see what he was drawing and I was so surprised and excited to see him drawing the vignette on our entry chest of drawers as pictured above. You might think that I am making this up after my post yesterday in which I discussed my mother's entry vignette and Cressida's Campbell's artwork but I am not.
At one point he asked me to pass him down the orange vase so that he could examine it's details up-close. I was even asked to sharpen pencils. Of course I didn't argue as I was so excited to see him drawing the things I had arranged on our entry table.
This is the end result. After looking over it and discussing it, he said he made a mistake with the placement of the pink chair and he said he might add the picture frames which hang on the wall behind the vignette but that's for another night. On the back he has written a special note to me...I think my Mother's Day happened one week early!
PS...Did you notice Harry's fluoro pencils?! They are the BEST pencils as the colour is just so vivid and bright. They can be purchased from Toyworld if anyone is interested.
PPS...I must thank my beautiful friend and client Jules for the Phoebe Stephens yellow roses as pictured above which she delivered to me on Friday afternoon along with the big tub of potent Vitamin C which has done me the world of good...my awful flu has pretty much gone!!xxSource URL: http://idiesse.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-very-own-artist.html
