The family and I were dining at a local restaurant the other day. One feature this particular establishment has is that every table is draped in a large ream of newsprint paper that acts as a table cloth of sorts. Plus, since our child is still considered "of child age" (although, confidentially, I think she may be more mature than I am), we were provided with a few crayons to do with whatever we wanted. Immediately, our daughter started doodling on the paper while I did the crossword puzzle on the kids' menu.
But, my wife (my daughter's mom) issued us a challenge. She told us both to draw a creature with a specific criteria:
1. Its eyes are on its hands.
2. Its nose is on its giant horn.
3. Its mouth is on its chin.
4. It has four legs.
5. Its teeth are like thorns.
Thankfully there was no official time limit so we didn't have to rush. Although we did have to pause our drawing when the food arrived of course. That's why there's a few grease stains on it.
My daughter didn't manage to finish her drawing sadly. But she did make several other doodles that I thought were quite good. Unfortunately, my wife neglected to capture those with her phone's camera and so they are now lost to time and the elements. Oh well, maybe she will start her own blog or post her artwork on whatever website would attract the most traffic. Who knows.
Anyway, my response to my wife's art challenge is the one above. Enjoy it if that's how you feel.
