I read the post but did not do the art project until a few days later. I chose Van Gogh's Sunflowers because ds#3 has actually drawn that picture before (yes, and still the idea did not occur to me.) I went back to comment on the post and saw she had actually used the same work! I must have really liked the whole idea, LOL!

Lovely reproductions! We usually do one reproduction for each artist we study. We just finished Cassatt. And our next is a huge jump -- Picasso!
Great looking artwork!!! What do you mean your general art neglect. You do a lot of art in my opinion! This is really fabulous. Give the kids a pat on the back for me.
