Bring on the Piston Cup...

Maxine has always had an affinity for drawing and coloring. She likes watercolor paints lately and has come up with some pretty funny stuff. Saturday she drew Lightning McQueen winning the Piston Cup. She draws the outlines with pen and then uses the watercolor paint to color it in. The color blobs on the bottom of the picture are everyone from Radiator Springs looking on. In order from left to right its Blue Sally, Rusty Mater, Lizzy, Fillmore, Luigi, Guido, Sarge. Flo and Ramone are up in front, just under Lightning. She drew Lightning by looking at Jacky's little Lightning McQueen car.

Next is the scene where Sally and Lightning are talking after Mater and Lightning went tractor tipping. We call it, "Getting cozy at the Cone" You can even see Mater down at the bottom driving away.

Oh, and Maxine said something funny the other day. We were driving through Hurricane and passed a Subway. She said "That Subway stole those letters from Del Taco." Looking at the Subway sign, I noticed it said, "Feed the beast" on the letterboard. "Feed the beast" is the slogan for Del Taco so she figured Subway must have stolen the letters in order to put that on their sign. I thought it was rather intuitive and maybe we watch too much tv. Fish taco, fish taco, fish taco, fish taco...

Wow. She's good! Love the pics of Lightening. So, who does she get her talent from?

Love the pictures. Hannah does the same thing with pen and water color. Those two would have a blast painting together!

Those paintings are amazing! Sam's drawings look so childish compared to Maxine's.

Maxine is a great artist. J.D. paints at school sometimes, but I haven't thought to let him do it at home. One of his favorite things to draw is the Cars characters (big shocker). He also likes to draw mermaids, though!?! We'll have to get the budding artists together when we see you in June. (Hilarious comment about Del Taco and Subway.)

I love the bit about Del Taco!
