I was paging through one of my favourite gardening magazines this morning, The Gardener, when I noticed an art competition. The art competition is called Paint a Poppy. The poppy of your choice can be painted in any medium. I mentioned this to my girls and they were both so excited at take part and got to work straight away. They both chose water colour pencils, which are drawn onto the paper first and then water is added with a brush to blend and shade and turn your drawing into a painting. Below are their finished paintings… Jenna’s painting is the first one and Erin’s is the second. They had such fun designing and painting these flowers… We are definately going to frame these beautiful treasures and hang them in our home…
Happy weekend to you all

What talented girls, I can always tell a Waldorf family ; ) I hope you frame them for your own home!
How beautiful your poppy is! It’s our mom’s favorite flower!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
So so pretty, I love poppies, it is such a shame they bloom so fleetingly. Having these two paintings is a wonderful way to celebrate them all year round 🙂
both are stunning x
These are such skilled and beautiful artworks. Just exquisite!
Wow, those are gorgeous! You have two very talented “budding” artists in the family.

I love it when my children amaze me. It’s clear that you have awakened the awareness of detail and form in the girls. It will echo in every area of their lives – and will lend an analytical edge to their wonder.
Wow! Beautiful.
oh Linda they did such a lovely job! They obviously took a lot of care in getting the detail just right, beautiful treasures to frame indeed.
Linda,
I have just discovered your blog – you have some of the most wonderful things on here.
Your daughters drawings are amazing – they are both very talented.
Regards,
Elaine
Welcome Elaine and thank you so much:)

The girl’s drawings are beautiful. I’ve tried to work with watercolor pencils a few times and never had much luck. The shading of the poppies is so pretty.
Linda, they are very beautiful, I agree with Nicole, very talented girls and surely waldorf inspired. Have a beautiful week with your family Linda. Christmas blessings xxx
I forgot to add that I love your new banner, so green and refreshing, what a beautiful garden you have. Are those lemons growing in the tree?
What lovely paintings. Your girls are so talented. They will make lovely portraits for your home.
