Oil pastels

Emmy came to visit this morning, she got some big hugs from Ava and Harper.   

Rielee came over to play, too. 

The girls with a small sampling of today's drawings.

Harper asked us for some oil pastels, the girl loves to draw.  So does Ava and that's about all they did this weekend. 

We had art contests all morning, drawing sunsets, beach scenes, flowers, valentine houses and science scenes (winner-Ava).  Rielee joined in and Emmy added the chicken.  It was fun, with a lots of laughs as we struggled to come up with something from our imaginations.  We tried to draw parrots but Rielee's ended up looking  like a winged squirrel, she was struggling so I let her use her phone to do and underwater ocean scene, she won that round and was happy.  They were good sports, especially when I won in the "senior" division or was disqualified for having a talking fish..  Papa was a good judge, pointing out something special he liked in each drawing.   They started the weekend with an 80 sheet sketch pad and used all but 6 sheets.
