henri toulouse-lautrec ~

toxic loved to draw & paint ~

now i have my own gallery online ~

my uncle & older sister were artists ~

here's paul gauguin ~

puppies, circles & shapes ~

my son was naturally interested in art as most children are ~

most of his young life he spent his time drawing, painting or creating with play-doh ~

albrecht durer ~

my son's 5th birthday party was art themed & we let all the kids paint a mural on the backyard wall ~

i still have a folder of toxic's art ~

i love this owl & these trees ~

my son's art also still hangs up in my toy room.. whether you grow up to be an artist or not, art is a wonderful gift to enjoy in childhood ~
