lol

Wow! That is just beautiful, I would love to try watercolors one day but I would not know where to begin! Great Job!

Thank you, that was really bothering me! Every way I wrote it , it looked wrong. Of course I could have looked it up but sometimes I just refuse to do that.

lmao!!!!!!

Come on Mindy....... Draw Gabe. "All the cool kids are doing it" no peer pressure here. lol

I tried this one with a set of Derwent Tinted Charcoal pencils, which I got for a Christmas present. I'm just learning to use them, but it's good fun.

Way funny Mindy..

Nice drawing mumwond!!

Howdy all

Great drawing Raidor!

Thank you it's beautiful! In my opinion anywhere in Costa Rica is beautiful. (well at least where we were)

My sister-in-law lived there on the beach for a while. They ended up having their wedding there pretty much in the jungle..... it was amazing!

So I laugh because I always say I went for a wedding and came home engaged. LOL (my husband proposed in the most beautiful place on earth!)

what a great drawing of Gabe Monikam! Thank you. Gabe will be happy

Up up and away..
loved these Balloons !! colorful and fun..

Great Job! Gabe approves,lol. Even funnier yet. When Gabe read it he said... and I quote "He can always draw the chin strap tighter!" LMAO!!!!

It's funny anywhere we go Gabe is the only kid wearing a helmet when they are all just cruising around, it kills me.

I have to mention that Gabe races BMX all over the country, tomorrow we will be leaving for Va for yet another National. Gabe is ranked #1 in the Nation as a 9 year old expert.
You can check out his website at www.aboyandabike.com
He raises money for pediatric cancer with The Alex's Lemonade Foundation. Last year he raised and donated more than $5,000.00 That was his goal..... to see if he could raise 5G's in one year.

We are soooo proud of him!

Anyway thank you for all of your great drawings!

I'll try the new pic of Gabe that you put up, don't want to end up a social outcast...

Good luck for the race Gabe - let all see only your back wheel

That is blinking brill what Gabe has done so far nice going buddy

and for your reward i have drawn you again your new picture but i thought to myself

I bet Gabe would love to see what he looks like ten years older and thats exactly how i drew it

Just for fun, Gabe wanted to contribute this week with his coloring of the balloons.

Ava would but she is too busy right now doing art work on her face with all of my make-up!

Hey Gabe, nice drawing of the balloons!

I've never even tried drawing a caricature before, but this just sort of happened. Hope you like it.

This is so cute! great work Mindy

I agree, you did a great job! I have never tried a caricature either, I might just try to make my kid into a cartoon!

Great sketches. You must be so proud of Gabe. What a wonderful kid.

I had a go at another of the pics. Pen and watercolour wash. I used my "imagination" with the colours.
