My Sister as an Artist
Last Monday my sister-in-law, Chelsea, came over for dinner (Darren, my brother, usually comes with her but he went to the hockey game that night). After we ate I was complaining about this project that I had to do for art. I took out my water colours and my sketch book and my sister, Larissa, atacked my book with the paint. She was really trying desperatly hard to make some sort of architeture (that was my assignment), for me to hand in as "my" art. This is what she came up with:
As you can tell, water colour deffinatly is not her thing. The blob in the middle (the gennie looking thing with yellow hair, yellow sunglasses and a white smile) is supposedly the Statue of David. Can you see it? The thing around it is an arch with a vine wrapping around it. Those purple blobs are supposed to be flowers.
I started painting again today and she said that she wanted to try painting with acrylic paint. So, I went upstairs and got a tiny little canvas (the size of half a piece of paper) and some acrylic paint. I gave it to her and she started going at it. This is what she came up with:
I must say, she is much better with this paint. If you don't know my sister, well...this is her. She didn't know what to paint so she just painted her self. She even signed them both.
Oh, and I didn't hand in her water colour painting. I eventually came up with my own.
