How I make a big Drawing.

First I draw in a few friends, and then I color it in like this!

Whidbey Island

This is a painting I made of Whidbey Island after we went there for a family vacation. I gave it to my Mom for her Birthday.
On Whidbey Island, we loved to sit on the beach listening and watching everything that went by and I saw three ships come sailing in. I loved walking down the beach looking for rocks that are shaped like hearts. I took some heart rocks home and painted them for my family and friends.
We took a ferry over to downtown Port Townsend and we went on a treasure hunt at Fort Casey, I painted them in the background.  

Lighthouse

This is a painting that I made for my dad on Fathers Day. This is a painting of the light house and the sun set by the ocean. We tried to copy the same painting we saw on a video. I painted him a light house because it reminded me of being on the cruise ships on the ocean and our vacation to Whidbey Island. We love to watch the sun go down and saw lots of light houses on our vacation.

Gone Fishin’

This is a painting that I made for my Dad on Father’s Day. I followed a video to make a sunset lake and then I painted a silhouette of me and my dad fishing in his boat. I added the shore with a light house and a fish jumping. It reminds me of going fishing with him at Alouette Lake. My dad loves fishing and going on his boat.

Your Heart is as Big as an Elephant

This is a Mother’s Day painting that I painted for my mother. It is of an elephant walking by the water while the sun is setting. I followed the instructions on a video and then I did the same thing. I thought my mom would like it because she loves elephants and the colors pink and purple.

Humming Birds in the garden

Look at this painting, it’s all about humming birds. I painted it especially for my Grandma Sylvia when she was in the hospital to help make her feel better and help her remember our memories. We used to sit together and watch the humming birds flying around and sipping from the flowers. The painting has lots of humming birds by the flower baskets and the bird feeder.  Humming birds are special because they were my grandma’s favourite. When I see humming birds at the humming bird feeder now, it makes me remember sitting with my grandma.

Humming Bird

This is a painting I made for my Grandma Sylvia for mother’s day. I painted her a humming bird because it is her favourite bird. Humming Birds are special because it makes me remember sitting with my grandma and watching them out the window.

Wood Pecker

This is a painting that I painted for my Grandma Sylvia. I painted her this woodpecker because she loves birds and I saw them out in my backyard. I hang it on the wall in the hospital so she could see the birds from her bed. I really miss her, we loved watching the birds together.

Blue Jay

This is another bird painting for my Grandma Sylvia. This one is a Blue Jay! My Grandma likes Blue Jays, and me too. I painted it for her because I always remembered seeing this kind of bird in our backyards. I remember grandma leaving some peanuts for the birds to come eat in the yard. Blue jays are nice because they are so blue!

Oh Deer!

This is a painting for Grandma Helen. 
There are a lot of deer at my Grandma Helen’s house. We can watch deer eating grass in her yard from her window. Keep your eyes open you never know which kind of deer might show up. See those two different kinds of deer, we’ve learned that boy deer’s have antlers and girl deer’s only have ears and spots on their backs. You can always see them when you visit Grandma in Alberta.

Kangaroo Zoo

This is a painting that I made for Aunt Yvonne. I gave it to her on her birthday. That reminds me of the time they took us to see the Kangaroo Zoo back when we were visiting them in Kelowna. I liked seeing the kangaroos hopping around the fields. They had little kangaroos in their pouches and we called them Joey’s. When we were at the Kangaroo Zoo we all got to hold the babies.

Peacock

This is a painting that I made at Four Cats. Four Cats is an art school where you get to learn to make your favourite paintings. I went to Four Cats with Michelle G, it was fun! This painting is a peacock. First I did the paintings of the peacocks body and then I put foil stickers on at the end for his feathers.

Trees

Here's another painting that I made at Four Cats. This is a painting of the three trees. There is a green, yellow, and red tree. Before I did the trees, I painted the background. This was my first painting and the first time that I went to Four Cats with my friend Michelle G.

Amy and Micah

This is a very special silhouette painting that I made for Amy and Micah when they were getting married. I just looked at the real grey picture and then copied their shadows into the painting.

Stephanie and Terry

This is a very special silhouette painting that I made for Stephanie and Terry when they were getting married. I just looked at the real picture of them by the helicopter and then copied their shadows into the painting. I added the keys because they are Stephanie’s Favourite.

Puff The Magic Dragon / In the Octopus’s Garden in the Shade Songs

This is a picture that I drew for my friend Gordon.
I gave it to him because I like to sing songs with him. Gordon likes to play his guitar and he teaches me to sing along. There are two different kinds of guitars. The first is an electrical guitar, you can use it to do some rock music. The other is an acoustic guitar, you use it for country music.
The picture on the top shows you the song of ‘Puff the Magic Dragon.’ When I sang that with Gordon it reminded me of all the dragon characters. That is why I drew us singing with Puff the Magic Dragon with Spyro, Dragon Tales and Dudley the Dragon.
The picture on the bottom shows you the song of the ’Octopus’s Garden in the Shade.’ It made me think of us singing in the garden with a friend that is an octopus, his name is Henry the Octopus.

African Rainforest Adventure

This is a drawing that I made for my friend Gary. I met him while I was on the cruise ship going through the Panama Canal. He is from South Africa and I sent him an email with the picture when it was finished. The top picture I drew us wearing our safari hats on an African Adventure. The bottom picture, I drew us riding on a raft while we are on a Rainforest Adventure.  I drew us taking pictures of all the African and Safari animals while we were on our adventure.
I brought my Camera so we can take animal pictures. In these two parts of an adventure can you find those animals? Use your camera to Zoom in closer to those animal in order to take its picture. So we can save them in the animal album.

Disco Dance

Now, this Picture that I drew is for Stephanie. Stephanie is from the cruise ship we took to Panama. Beside her is her friend Gary, he is from South Africa.

When we were on the ship with them, I sure do love to Dance. I love to draw too, they think that I am very talented. In this picture, Stephanie, Gary, and I are disco dancing. I also added in Big Bird and Ernie in the hiding box. My idea was that if we dance just like the box does, it will open. So we watched carefully and copied the same dance moves as the box and out popped Ernie.  

Matt’s Memory Box

This is a memory picture that I drew for Matt. His last day working with me was in 2019, so I decided to make a special memory picture of all our favorite things we did together. First I drew the city bus and the co-workers from Exclusive Floors. Then I drew Habitat for Humanity the construction site with the builder and our boss Dave. I drew all kinds of exercises and a bicycle. Last I drew an Ambulance and Frist aid kit because Matt was moving to go to medical school in London, in Ontario.

Disney’s Frozen ‘Love is an Open Door’ Song

This is a picture I made of my Musical Theater Group at Semiahmoo.  In the play, I was Prince Hans and my friend Jenny was Princess Anna. We sang the song “Love is an Open Door” from the movie Frozen.
 This is a picture that I drew for Jenny. This picture shows you that we’re inside the castle. There was a King and Queen and two princesses Elsa and Anna. Outside the window is Olaf the snowman that the princesses made when they were little. I drew me pretending to be a King and Jenny was pretending to be Princess Anna, with all my friends from Semiamoo dressed up in fancy cloths.

Lera-Lan’s Fun

These are the two pictures that I drew for my friend Lera-Lan. I remember something special about her, she loves doing karate and horseback riding. The first picture that I drew down below has me and Lera-Lan doing karate from ancient Japan. The top picture is me and Lera-Lan horseback riding in the wild west. I also drew a special guest of Pecos Bill.  I watched the Tale of Pecos Bill told by Elmo and his Friend Travis Tritt.

Nicholas Robins Sing Along Guessing Game

This picture that I drew is a thank-you card for my teacher Lori. I wanted to make a picture on photoshop so I can show it to everyone at Semiamoo, but it was too late, So I drew her one instead. She is so proud of me, and she is a great guitar player.

Beach Party

This is a drawing that I drew when I was in high school. This picture has characters from two Nickelodeon movies. This First picture that I drew is the SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. I drew SpongeBob and all his friends. They came out of the water trying to get the book back to try to save Bikini Bottom. The other picture is from a Fairly Odd Summer. I drew Timmy Turner and his fairy god parents from the T.V. episodes.

Disney Hawaiian Party

This is a painting that I painted for Samantha. She really likes Disney Characters from Hawaii. On the left side of the painting I’ve painted all the people and all the experiments from Lilo and Stitch.  On the picture on the right side has Moana, Maui, and their animals; the poka-doted pig and a crazy chicken.

World of Dogs

This is a painting that I made for Aunty Dor.

Here is Aunty Dor and we were playing hide and seek with Max and her dog Midnight. See all the dogs, this must be the world of dogs. Max and Midnight are playing with their friends from Blues Clues, Jimmy Neutron and the Wiggles. Before they hid, Aunty Dor gave me a clue to find Max and Midnight. She told me to remember that Max and Midnight are both black dogs and both of them have brown eyes.

Robot Rampage!

This is a painting that I made for Grandma Helen.
I really missed her two dogs and my Grandpa. I was pretending to be a robot repair man to make her two dogs Butch and Casey and my Grandpa come back to life as robots. I also had a little help from Jimmy Neutron and the Backyardigans. We are in the town called Mega City where there are lots and lots of robots.  

Outer Space

This is a painting that I made for Evelina. I made this painting because me and my friends from Jenny’s Group really missed her when she moved to Vancouver Island. I painted her and me floating on the moon, and we saw a Martian.

World of Friends

This is a painting that I made of my group of friends at Jenny’s Office. There is my mom, Jenny and her office worker Carrie. Along with my friends Oliver, Thor and Evelina. At Jenny’s office we learned how to be good friends and about how we feel.

Bird Watching

This is a painting that I made for Auntie Helen, Uncle Kelly, Micah and My Cousin Amy.
In this picture we are bird watching with our sesame street friends. I painted all different types of birds. When we were watching for some birds and I asked them “what is your favorite Bird.” My favorite is that peacock.

Swimming Lessons

This is a painting I made for Sharon and her new baby. In this Painting, I was helping Sharon teach her new baby how to do swimming lessons. He is too little so he needs to wear a lifejacket to swim. I painted all the fish and some underwater friends to help us too. We had a little help from Henry the Octopus, Elmo and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Construction Site

This is a painting I made for Michelle G.

You know one time I remember seeing Michelle wearing a vest. It reminded me of the clothes builders wear. So I painted this picture of Michelle and me working on the construction site with Bob and his can do crew. That was a good memory.

SGT’ BYRD’S BASE

This is a Painting I made for my Grandma Sylvia.
In this picture we are looking for some humming birds with Spyro and his new friend Sargent Byrd. Sargent Byrd Says “I have to train the humming birds!”
My Grandma likes birds, and I like them too. Our favorite birds that we saw are the humming birds. If you want to go bird watching then step on closer to the window of the house. Look at the flowers and the humming bird feeder and then when you think you see a humming bird just let me know.

“To Granville Island”

That is a painting that I made for Ed.

In this painting Ed is going on a little boat trip with my dad and me. It was the first time he had ever been on my dad’s boat. We decided to take him to Granville Island where we could see all the way to the Mountains. I could see Seymour, Cypress and of course my favourite Grouse mountain. I could also see the windmill on Grouse Mountain all the way from the boat.

I pretended that all of a sudden, there was a ship and it crashed all the way at the top of Heaven Sake right by the Windmill. I thought that I should go up there and figure out who crashed their ship.

The Big Game

This is a painting for my niece Emma, She loves to play baseball. I painted her throwing the ball so I could hit it with my bat. My brother Marcus is the back-catcher, I also added my nephew Dominick and Emma’s friends Aleena and Brooklyn around the bases.  We love to play baseball together and we also love to cheer on Emma so she can score some more points.

This is a painting of Operation Trackshoes. Operation Trackshoes is in Victoria and I used to travel there with my friends from high school. They have lots of games and races at Operation Trackshoes.

Tuckers Memory Picture

This is a memory painting that I painted for Tucker. One time Tucker used to take me to work at Exclusive Floors for my work experience.

I sure do miss Tucker when he doesn’t work with me anymore, but I can still see him at Summer Camp sometimes.

Max

This is a picture that I also drew in art class at school. It's a picture of my dog, Max! I looked at the teachers picture of a dog and then I tried to copy the same thing but with Max instead.  Once I finished drawing I colored it in with pencil crayons. 

Chelsea’s Memory box

A New Baby

See the pictures of Sharon having a new baby. I drew me pretending to be a nurse. The baby was out of her tummy, so I took it in the bath to clean it. When I’m finished I took it to Sharon and the real nurse said “It’s a Boy!”

Scoop

That is a very special drawing that I made. I made a design! It is a digger named Scoop. He is one of my favorite machines.  I drew it at my Grandma’s house when I was there for a visit.
