My middle son, Jason, enjoyed drawing for a few years and took one art class in high school. Personally I think he is pretty talented, but I might be a little biased. 🙂 Unfortunately he hasn’t done much with it since.

This is his drawing of Suzie, our dog, and the photograph he drew from:

This is a drawing he did for the South Caroline Christian School Association Fine Arts Fair. He got a “Superior” rating and a $250 scholarship.

It’s a little hard to see the line distinctions from the picture, but it is a black and white dog curled up.

This set of prints is from one of my favorite artists, Paula Vaughn. Most of the things on my walls are just little things I picked up here and there. This was an investment. 🙂 We had moved to GA and for the first time had a separate living room and family room. I was looking for some prints for the living room and loved these, but thought they were too much. But then my husband bought them for me I think for my birthday (nice man!)

Needle arts are some of my favorite kinds of art. This is a cross-stitched piece done by one of my sisters, Leigh Ann, from a pattern based on a Paula Vaughn print.

  1. Your son is definitely talented. I love Paula Vaughn too .. I must have all her patterns just waiting to be stitched. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Your son is a gifted artist. Such lovely works of art. I’m also fond of cross stitch works. I love those cross stitch frames. My best friend gave me one before and I proudly hang it on our wall. I love the effort she put into it. Thanks for sharing.

  3. Your son is really really good. Wish I could draw. The dog one is great. And I like your soft feminine style in the wall hangings you’ve chosen.

  4. Barbara, they are all wonderful examples of art, but I love the porch cross-stitch the best! Jason is very talented. Thanks for stopping by Pollywog Creek and commenting on my father’s “masterpiece”.

  5. I love every one of those pictures. Your son does have a real gift. Even if he has dropped it for the time being, drawing will be something he can turn to at any time in the future.

  6. They are all gorgeous in their own way! I loved your sons drawings, he really is talented, pity he didn’t continued. that curled up dog is really something!

  7. I love needle arts too–that is excellent work!! I’m truly impressed–I know how much work goes into those.

  8. Jason is a talented artist love the picture of Suzie
    love your art on your walls thanks for sharing

  9. Maybe your son picks up the drawing again later. He seems to have it in him – I don’t think it’s possible to keep a talent like that hidden – it’ll want to come out 🙂

  10. I came over after you commented on my blog. The bears on the bench under the print look like Cherished Teddies.
    Have you checked Crackle Barrel for Boyds?
    I’ll be checking back in. I loved the art work.

  11. These are all terrific. Perfect choices for The Hunt. Your son really is talented. I saw the dog in the 2nd photo without reading your description first! Love your prints – so warm and homey and the cross-stitch is really lovely.
