Oranges and Elsie

Here's the second painting I've completed in my painting class at BC3. This is taken from the a photo I took when Elsie was 1 or 2. It was probably the only time she ever sat still. That red and pink outfit wasn't working for my color scheme, so I got rid of it. But it's okay to do that when you have an artistic license. I really do have one. My teacher gave them out to all of the students. :)

Elsie's 2nd Sewing Project

Elsie did just about everything here. She designed the artwork, I drew it on the dress, and she sewed it on all by herself. She somehow got mustard on it during the project, but luckily it came off in the wash.

Riley in Whale Dress

This is my friend Melody's daughter Riley, posing for me in the Whale Dress at Succop Conservancy. What a cute-head!
