Pinterest!

I have been introduced to eeet! ^ I've seen my sissa Jess use it and was in awe of the AMAZING pictures, but it depressed me then to see such beauty I could not imitate. But a friend recently raved about how much she loves it, so I looked into it; in my current state of mind the images do not depress me, but rather inspire. I am in love!

This one makes my heart heavy. It reminds me of the beautiful-est scene in Forest Gump, where as children Jenny says to Forest 'Pray with me, Forest.' and they get on their knees in the fields and she says 'God, please turn me into a bird so I can fly far - far, far away.'

But to add something happier, here is another Pin - of bright colors and coverse; nearly the best mix ever! =D

Eee! I've got a few more desktop images up my sleeve now ;]

National Art Gallery

On Tuesday Karli, Jess, Bek, Jamie, Jord, Rob, and I went to the Art Gallery with Sam and Amy.
The main reason we went was because all of the famous paintings from Paris were on display, and they are only in Canberra for a few more weeks. Some of the artworks were amazing!

One of my favourites was of a girl sitting on a chair, with her back toward you; it was called 'Rest', but I don't remember who it was by... there were so many different artists and paintings, it was hard to remember them all! Unfortunately, there were no photos on Google image of it, so you'll just have to go off my word that it was beautiful :)


This one was one of my other favourites, by Claude Monet called 'Houses of Parliament'.


And, of course, Vincent van Gogh's 'Starry Night'.

There were many, many others but these were the chief ones. Do you have a favourite Parisian painting?

Le Jeune Artiste

Rebekah was, and still is, the artist...




...but Robert has suddenly sprung up! He spends hours drawing people, places, weapons, nature and anything else he can think of. He looks at a picture in a book, closes it and just draws, and the resemblance is very close! He has an eye for detail. Not long ago he drew these three; the face he copied onto paper while looking at the original picture, but the other two were cleverly drawn out of his head. He told Mum that he would be an artist when he grew up! I don't doubt it.



He wrote his name at the top to say
that he drew it. And, by the way, this
is a lady (rather an ugly lady).

D.I.Y cupboard illustrations. He has never even seen a real elevation plan, he just knew how to do it. See how all the parts aren't actually attached? The arrows point to the way the nails have to be hit into the wood and the hinges (up-close) look realistic. The carpenter in our family was most impressed.
