I love Luke's drawings


We never know what he will come up with.  I'm always amazed at his eye for detail.  Also, just the time he spends coloring.  This first picture when he was almost 4 years old (so officially 3!).  He spent at least 4-5 hours on it- spread out over time.  He would color for a while, then come back to it.  I never even told him he had to finish it. It was just something I gave him for fun.  He would lose the drawing and then we would search for it. He'd color some more. Repeat. He was determined all on his own to finish it.


He loves to color, draw - loves little details.
I love his sense of balance - kind of crazy - but fun.

Not sure what this is, but kind of cool!

I have a Picasso for sale - for YOU a good deal!

This one he was trying to copy his cousin Connor's dragons.



This is one of my favorites.  Rings of Seurat, eh?



 He'll draw these for birthday cards. Kind of funny how much detail he puts in for another little 5 year old who won't even look twice at the card.  At least his Mom appreciates his art :)

Another mess......arg!

 Sometimes I feel like I just can't take one more mess. Every time I turn around there are those "precious" fingerprints - not to mention spilled food, dirty clothes, clean clothes, dishes, toys...................I had just cleaned up the family room. Went in to do dishes and came back to see this:





Really Luke? Can you NOT clean up after yourself?  Then I saw what he cut out. I just couldn't be mad anymore. He can't stand seeing things that aren't cut out "correctly".  These were Claire's sister missionary paper dolls.  The one on the left is the one he "corrected" :)
