Elephant doodle

Remember this weird blank canvas above Cameron's bed?  I painted a light green with a paint sample, and had fabulous plans of doing a collage/decoupage thing with Japanese paper.  Oh yeah - it was going to be a masterpiece.  Somehow, as with all of my best works of art, I never got around to it.  But the blank canvas bugged me - taunted me, really, every time I fed Cam in his room.  So I decided to fill it...
Hey - I never said I was an artist, but at least it is something fun to look at.  I am forever doodling animals and cars for Will, and I like elephants the best, so there you go!  (Sorry for the miserable photo - my nice camera was dead.)
Cam even helped - when I went to rinse the brush, I looked back and he had reached over and smeared the little bird on the ground.  I cleaned it up but left the smears - he obviously had an artistic message to make, and who am I to say it didn't belong? :)

  2. Thanks Amanda - I just looked up Bholu and it is SO cute. I love their stuffed frog. And now I know where that monkey wallpaper I keep seeing comes from!
