Both busy with the watercolors.
I had to cringe a few times when I caught them using a scrubbing motion with the sable hair brushes:

It is always nice to have family around at this time of year.....isn't that what it is all about?
Keep prodding them as they seem like they enjoy being artist.
Here is to a very Merry, Peaceful Christmas Gilliatt!

Good choice--Forbidden Planet is one of those movies that even kids who don't think they'll like old movies like.
I have to say, that warping effect you used to hide their faces in the picture is kind of creepy, because it looks exactly like what happens in photographs of people who've been cursed in The Ring.
It's good to see the kids are getting some training from their genius uncle.Quote:

Agreed, that turned out kind of weird. Their mom and dad probably wouldn't mind their faces being shown given their involvemnet with that infernal facebook and tweeter business, but since I didn't ask, I took decided to warp.Quote:

I think I'd prefer a far less white Christmas at the moment.

Great pics, kittypaws and Gilliatt! I envy your wilderness abode, Gilliatt. I may live only a few miles down the road, but it's miles and miles of roads and cement in every direction.
Thanks for appreciating Qimi. I think I should have learnt some drawing skills from my niece.Quote:
