…every Friday my husband draws a fish to send to our granddaughter
Here is this week’s creation.
When I posted this Winnie hadn’t seen it yet so I can’t share her reaction but when she saw the following picture she declared it was an Owl Monster.
….not sure if our granddaughter has seen these yet
My husband doesn’t always share his drawings with me but when he does I download them into my ‘Photos’. I know that tomorrow is suppose to be ‘Fishy Friday’ but I’m not sure if that’s happening. If it does I’ll make sure to pass it on to those of you who enjoy his work.
These three entries are a dog, a mouse and a bird. Not as colourful or quirky as some of his drawings but fun nonetheless.
….love this colourful addition to my husband’s collection of Monday monsters
….as I promised
I’m happy to share my husband’s wonderful drawings that he does every day of the week for our granddaughter, Winnie. Monday’s always feature monsters and Friday’s feature fish. So far the rest of the week doesn’t have themes but I can see that changing.
….even though I haven’t found time to make art in the last 6 weeks my husband has
For about a year now my husband has been making cartoon drawings every day for our granddaughter. Certain days have themes like Monster Monday and Fishy Fridays. For this past Christmas Winnie gave her Papa a set of markers so that he could add more colour to his drawings.
When I first met Kevin, back at University, he had just finished a graphic design program at his local college and he worked as a graphic designer for the Ministry of Agriculture. When he switched careers in his mid 30s I was a little sad that he gave up his art but his job was changing with the times and computers were the way to go in the graphic design business. Unfortunately the first computers were very expensive and with a young family to think about he switched careers and his artistic side was put on the back burner.
Over the year I’ve seen his confidence grow and his drawings are developing a unique style of their own. This past week he’s gotten a bit of a head start on his drawings and he’s created six birds and a rabbit. Winnie loves to name them or she asks her Papa to give them names, which she often declares are silly. Here are his latest creations.
I’d love to create a children’s book around some of these characters.

I can’t believe that our dog, Frances is already 12 years old. We got her as a puppy from our daughter when she got a new job that made it impossible for her to properly train a new puppy. Frances immediately became my husband’s dog. It was love at first sight.
Over the years Frances has brought us a lot of joy. She’s a strange mix and whenever people ask about her breed they’re surprised by the answer. To the best of our knowledge she’s a cross between an Australian Sheppard and a Dachshund.
Here are a few photos of her over the last 12 years.
