Noah's Ark

A couple of years ago I asked my uncle to make Lukas a wooden toy Noah's Ark, and he did. It sat on a shelf for a long time and Lukas never played with it. So a few weeks ago I got it and decided to paint it. Oskar immediately took notice, and he loves it.  Here is the finished product.

who's got the blues?

After months of painting brown watercolors I finally gave in and let Lukas play around with some acrylic paint. I kept the palette cool with blues and greens. I thought at least that way whatever he painted would look good in my nautical themed home.

painting with watercolors

Okay, I can't say I haven't gotten to paint some. Lukas, my almost three year old, loves to paint. I started him on with watercolors in which he quickly learned to blend all the colors together to get brown. And so he paints with a lot of brown. We started with GLOB watercolors but he quickly wanted more so I gave in and let him use some van gogh watercolors. (more on GLOB later) I LOVE that my little man loves to paint. I only wish I had enough frames to put them all in and hang them!

 I helped with the sun and the tree in this one. Yes, look closely you'll see them.
