Keira's painting

Cards 1

Ferns

We're a family that likes a bit of a lie-in on Sunday mornings (Tom and I read and drink coffee in bed and Arlo's starting to learn the ways of the teenage sleep-in) but Keira likes to be up and about bright and early, even on the weekend.

Usually by the time the rest of us are up she has been working on something for an hour or two, and this morning it was this painting of an imaginary landscape. She kindly let me photograph it for my blog. I really like the colours and I think it shows her joy for drawing and painting.

I like the idea of getting up early with her and working on a project before breakfast – I could some good knitting or writing done in that time – so I will aim for that next weekend.

I got some new cards printed for my etsy shop – I have them in there as sets but also I like to send one out with each order. This card has been printed with a photo I've called 'morning scene', some knitting on the windowsill one day in the late summer.

And also for my shop, I made a few cases for keeping things in (probably projects but not exclusively of course) including the one you see above, which was hand-printed with ferns.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend and finding some time for the things you love to do.

    Her painting is incredibly beautyful! She’s a true artist and I can clearly see her joy in her artwork- you must hang it on a wall or so somewhere for everyone to enjoy…

    That is altogether a very pleasing piece of artwork. I like the light and shade and the colour balance. I’m glad it got shown on your blog.

    I like Kiera’s use of shading and such vibrant colours. An artist in the making.
    Your book arrived yesterday! My 4yr old granddaughter and I had a lovely time looking through it. She has chosen a couple of patterns for me to make for her already :-).
    Beautiful book

    I love the Sky, reminds me of Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now.

    A lovely painting, Kiera! I love the blues and greens, mountains and clouds. I think it would be lovely to be up and working on a project with her in the mornings, Melissa…though staying in bed on cold mornings might be hard to give up. Meg:)
