doodle faces

whilst our girls painted to their little hearts content...I got to doodle some faces.

I really love poster-paint with biro(ball-point pens).

I should work with it more often.

Hope you've been enjoying your weekend.

my African Queens

all it takes is an afternoon crafting with my girls here at home...a bit of poster paint and patience to wait for the thick wet patches of paint to dry...and an early start this morning before our little misses woke up to finish this piece and fall in love with PAINT all over again.
I am always amazed at how I feel when I haven't painted for a while and then start again. Shapes can be formed so freely with paint...even kids paint which is chalky. I was so excited to finish this that I made sure I woke up an hour earlier than everyone else (apart from Mr. R who leaves at 5.45am!)
O.K...so both of them look like their 16 years old in this piece, but I think I see them older when I look at them everyday...they know so much already and I've always spoken to them as equals...not at babies.
They have 1/4 African blood in them (hence the name "My African Queens")...and perhaps a little more as Mr.R's mother is Jamaican and has an African/East Indian heritage. I love History...hopefully our girls will love travel and finding out about who and where they are from.

Are you originally from the country you reside in?

Have fun thinking of your family Heritage today.
