Library Books

Birthday!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my sweet baby boy!

Painting for Kees

 This is the painting that I just finished for Kees' room. It was inspired by the inside cover of Kees' Bambi book, the forest animals from the kids area at the library and Kees' love for animals. I wanted his room to feel like being outside. This is the largest painting I have ever done! It is taller than Kees and takes up a good amount of the wall in his room. It was a lot of fun to paint! When I would get a free moment in the evening I would sit down and paint.

 Kees loves a stuff animal fox that we see at the library so I thought I would put a fox in the painting. Although Kees informed me that he thinks the fox looks, "Scary." Hopefully he will start to like it and I won't need to get out the white- out! ha

 Mommy and baby raccoon. Kees loves raccoon's so I had to add one in for sure!

 Someone left some tracks in the dirt...

 Little deer peaking out of the tree...

 The hiding baby raccoon...

 Protective mommy raccoon!

 ...and then we come to the Oregon Duck. This may seem silly and not fit at all but Kees loves the Oregon duck and we had talked about making his room decorated with the Oregon Ducks. This is a fun added, "animal" to the forest and made the painting specially made for Kees. :)

If you have seen the movie 'Madagascar' you will think this is hilarious. If you have had a toddler that has repeated, "move it, move it" you will find this funny!:)
