The
next few days we’ll be featuring some of our favorite Mother’s Day
artists. The first two artists that are featured belong to that heart-
warming group that mothers everywhere recognize. Children.
Many mothers have artwork from this talented group gracing their walls and
refrigerators. Today’s selections come from a collection known as “our
children”. In my mind, they were the finest little artists around in the
late '80’s and early '90's.
Our daughter Rebecca, did the first piece above, an explosion of vibrant colors in an
expressive, watercolor palette, around
the age of eight. The color combinations and styling hint at a future talent
now showcased at Velvet Lime Designs, as she splashes us with color selections
and ideas for artwork that inspires.

Our
son, Caleb, did the second piece, an architectural study in pencil and
watercolor, at around the age of eight also. The linear projections,
lines and “scaffolding” reveal a passion for building structures that is now
seen in his projects at Green Friendly Homes. http://www.greenfriendlyhomes.com/
We
love creative expression around here and we’re especially fond of the ones made
by children. We’d love to see yours and share them with our
friends! So, send us a copy of your favorite little artist’s work
to: info @velvetlimedesigns.com
Look
for originals from Marybeth’s girls tomorrow!
Celebrating
“our little works of art”,
