Then, after dinner, we went to the art show at his school. Apparently, he is not just creative with fabric, but with paints as well - he won a 3rd prize ribbon for some beautiful spring wildflowers that he painted. Can't wait for those wildflowers to actually bloom in real life - I am ready!
Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.
Oh I love that picture. 3rd prize well done to you. Cant wait to see your quilt as well. Great stuff.

Congratulations Jason! The flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful!! He is definitely a "budding" artist! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHe has a way with colour, just like his Mom!
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing painting. Congratulations on the prize, Jason! You must be so proud of him, Erin.
ReplyDeleteNice work. I love his painting and congratulations on the ribbon. Lane
ReplyDeleteWhy wasn't it FIRST Place!! I think it is absolutely beautiful. Erin, you do such a good job of nurturing his artistic talent, too. You let him try all different things. And he's just cute as a bug, too! I would scare your kids to death if I ever met them....I'd be squeezing them silly....they would wonder why the crazy old lady is attacking them!!!! :) They are just so cute!
ReplyDeleteErin, They are so lucky to have you to CELEBRATE and ENCOURAGE them! I love the painting!!! Em
ReplyDeleteWhat a budding (no pun intended) little artist you have!
ReplyDeleteThat painting is amazing! I couldn't do that. He definately is an artist. I bet he's anxious to see the rag quilt after it's washed too. I love rag quilts.
ReplyDeleteJason the flowers are beautiful. Job well done!
ReplyDeleteI always thought he had an acute artistic sensibility!
