Bananas & Beanie Hats

Pippi gets a hair cut and new earrings


This is the beginnings of a quick sketch I did while attending the children's piano practice - such a wonderful time to sketch, a cozy room, beautiful music! I will get back to work on her soon. My daughter, an avid Pippi fan, does not like the idea that this could be Pippi, perhaps growing up.. she is not happy with the missing braids.

This has been a challenging week, trying to meet the individual needs of a family with four distinct personalities - today I cannot even fathom having 3 or 4 children as I once imagined :-) But, with that said, I can honestly say for the Brave Girls Club, that today

Compromise is awesome!

  3. Sounds like a heavenly way to spend time. Listening to your children practice the piano and sketching...so nice.
    We all have to let go of the braids sometimes! he he he. I wore braids from 1st - 4th grade...back in the day. so i can relate to your pippi wanting to grow up a bit!
    nice banana, too!!!
    I agree with marlene, it's so great how you encourage your kids with their art. hope you have a great sunday!

  9. These are great sketches. I think I do not want to think about pipi without her braids either...I just love Pipi! Love the flying hat too and great job on the banana! Good luck with the coming week. I sure can relate, must be a bad week for personality clashes, cause we had them here too!!!

  11. I too love drawing in random and sundry places. Piano practice sound like the perfect form of inspiration. I love Pippi's pert little nose.
