Man of Steel

 

By Jaryd

There’s no question as to what this drawing is! Jaryd did a great job in creating this version of Superman, with the giant S on the chest of his blue leotard, red boots and billowing cape, and purple jockstrap. I’m not sure how Clark Kent or his alter ego combs his hair with these T-Rex arms, but would any six year-old artist worry about that? 

The Missing Bat?

By Kayla

I believe this is another Halloween drawing by a very young Kayla, probably created on the same day as the one in my previous post. I mentioned on my earlier post of her Halloween scene that it was missing a bat, and I’m guessing she decided that too, and then possibly created this drawing of what I think might be that missing bat.   However, the orange duck-feet and carrot-looking nose cause me to wonder if I might be wrong. It could be a penguin if you look at it differently. Regardless, I love the pose and long eyelashes on this creature. 

Young McAshley Had a Farm Too

By Ashley

Ashley’s farm drawing fills up the whole page like Jaryd’s version, but has softer colors and a very tall silo! Her “hourse” has the most beautiful eyelashes!  I guess you could say her farm drawing got a feminine touch, even at age 5.  

On Porpoise?

 

By Trent

I believe this crayon drawing by Trent at 4  is a porpoise or other sea creature. Its abstract quality makes it possible for it to be a whale or even a goldfish in an aquarium with some other blue fish. I love the wispy look and blending of colors. It’s swimmingly beautiful! 

Cousin Love

By Bryanna

By Mackenzie

I just couldn’t resist adding these drawings by two cousins who captured what each saw in the little girl sitting across from her at the drawing table. I think a little artist license was used here because I doubt they were actually wearing choker necklaces! 

The Haunting

By Kayla 

This sweet crayon drawing by Kayla at 5, as she’s documented, captures the most important aspects of a kid’s favorite holiday.  What would Halloween be without a few carved pumpkins, a friendly ghost and a few flowers 😊? Wait….no bat? The perspective of the steps leading to the front door of this house makes me feel as if I am walking down a haunted hill. 

An Arizona Rainy Day

ByAshley

 I really love this water color painting by Ashley, created at an early age. I see a story of  a sunny Arizona day with a few thunderclouds overhead and the beginning of a rain shower. My favorite kind of day! I love her green carpet of grass and colorful flowers along the bottom, and I think the tree looks like one our desert Joshua trees….but is it? 

Hotel Trent

By Trent

This building, drawn by Trent at an early age, reminds me of a cross between the Alamo and a Hilton Hotel! I like his use of perspective on the steps leading up to the very small entrance and the lights shining through the many windows. I also wonder if he was considering a string of hotels branded with his name someday? 

In the Woods

By Jaryd

Another early drawing by Jaryd with an animal theme. I feel like I’m right there in the woods with that majestic buck….is it a deer, or is it an elk? ! I love his elegant set of antlers, either way.  

Young McJaryd Had a Farm

By Jaryd

This drawing, made by Jaryd when he was very young, captures farm living at its finest; blue skies with lots of sunshine, green pasture,  happy animals staying inside the fencing. I Love his use of primary colors, the perspective of the animals, and the fact that he didn’t waste an inch of that piece of paper! Did you notice that one animal atop the small hill? Friend or foe?
