The gallery is officially open!

Greetings all and welcome to the grand opening of the Whimsical Island gallery! You'll find drawings, paintings, and other assorted creations from all three of our kids here. The name "Whimsical Island" was a brainstorm of all three kids and I think sums up pretty well what you'll see here. We'll have new stuff as well as a featured golden oldie here and there, so stay tuned for regular updates. These kids are not only great artists, but VERY prolific! :)

Here's a few recent drawings from Noah:

Alien Fish Man


Ogres on the loose!


General Grievous from Star Wars


A few new ones from Lucas:

A dragon riding knight


Creature design


Fall time scene


And last but not least, from Libby:

Self-portrait as a princess


A shot of everyone else in the family.
Not quite sure why the boys and Erica have bodies
and I don't, but I like it!


Notice too the progression that Libby has made from the first to second picture, now including bodies, not just the heads. It's interesting to see the kids' artwork evolve which is one of the reasons for posting this work. And even beyond that, it's just plain fun to look at!

Enjoy everyone! Feel free to post messages to the kids, I'm sure they would love to hear from you on these drawings.

Wow, these guys are good! I love the twists in the tentacle/arms of Noah's Alien Fish Man. Very realistic. He is an excellent alien. fish. man.

The swirly creature that Lucas designed looks like it's moving right off the paper! Cool!

Libby's princess is very colorful and happy. Best of all, as a princess, she has two minions to do her bidding! Good thinking, Libby.

Great website, gang! Looking forward to more.

(Here's a strange coincidence: the scrambled word verification below was hgzjedi. Sweet.)

These are awesome.

Alien Fish Man - The Alien Fish man is really cool. I love his eyes especially.

Ogres - The ogres look awesome. Everything is great...the drawing...the colors...the tatoos. Awesome!

Grievous - The General is really cool. Love the colors you used in that drawing and how you got him to really look like a "machine".

Dragon Riding Knight - This drawing is really cool. I love how scaly and cool the dragon looks. I wouldn't want to get hit by his fire or his spiked tail. Awesome drawing and I love the windows!

Creature Design - This creature looks amazing. He would definitely be scary in real life. I love how you sketched all the arms and the face!

Fall Time Scene - That scarecrow looks amazing! The whole scene is fantastic and you even used fall colors for the drawing. I love this one!

Self Portrait - I love this self portrait! I love the crown and the earrings that you put on yourself. Everything looks beautiful.

Family Portrait - I love all of these portraits. They crack me up because they look so much like the actual people. These are fantastic!
