DS1- Art in Colored Pens

Two days ago, DS1 decided to take down all the drawings on my wall done in crayons. He wanted to replace them with arts done in colored pens. Here's the first one.

I love it when my kids spend their time drawing. The sight never fails to cheer me up.

DS1 is into Dave Pilkey's Captain Underpants. He'd started illustrating a comic books in similar story line and some are really good. These he does on top of his chores, choir practice, piano, home works and all other stuff. When I find his latest work, I'm going to take picture of it and post it for posterity.

Right now, he's also working on his Sonatina on C which he's going to play in a contest next fall. His teacher believes he can go home with the highest prize. DD is going to play the second movement of the piece too. I have to start seriously practicing myself. Not for any contest, but just for leisure, and for playing duet with my babies. That and to know that they are practicing what they're supposed to.

DH also told me that he loves hearing me play the piano. I am trying to play Mozart's Turkish March. It's a playful piece, deceptively easy with it's C major key signature, then it changes to D major, and the counting is quite fast. I love it's lively tune. My fingers are lamentably out of practice, you can practically hear it creak as it goes over the ivory keys to warm them up, hoping to get them nimble enough to produce a sound resembling that of Mozart's composition.

hehe.. it's pretty colorful.

how old is ds1 again?

reminds me, when i was young, i love coloring books. you know, the barbie ones.. i love coloring them all.

hmmm... some people says that if you let your child find their creativity while still young, that child won't be far from being an artist.

when i was young, all i have was crayons. parang aksayado kasi ung colored pens.

anyway, merry xmas miss! *hugs*

cheers,
aiRah
