What’s in the Drawing?
Can you tell me what is going on in my daughter’s drawing? I will post the text above the drawing by Wednesday in a different post. Enjoy chatting about the drawing.

There's a pirate ship (with a very rabbinical looking figure at the helm ;) ).
leoraw says
Funny, the rabbi association! Daughter does know a fair amount of rabbi-looking men.
ramblingwoods says
Pirate ship of course...watch, I will be way off..LOL
Robin from Israel says
I'm thinking it's the Pilgrims coming to America - that looks more like a pilgrim hat than a rabbi's hat to me.
Robin from Israel says
Or Columbus. It could also be Columbus. Either way a Thanksgiving type theme with a voyage of discovery.
leoraw says
Funny you say that, about Columbus or the Pilgrims. My daughter gets the ships confused - last week she said the Pilgrims came on the Santa Maria.
Ilana-Davita says
Pilgrim Fathers spotting what later became the USA.
leoraw says
Maybe this was too easy. Though the first two guessers said pirates.
Carver says
I see someone steering and someone looking out with their binoculars. Then I saw the comments about the Pilgrims and thought I should have thought of that with Thanksgiving. I love children's art. My daughter is 24 and I still have some of her art from elementary school.
leoraw says
I like your initial reaction! I love children's art, too.
phyllis says
If it wasn't Thanksgiving time, I'd say Washington crossing the Potomac but yeah...Pilgrims...
great!!!
leoraw says
Well, we have been to both Washington Crossing Parks, the one on the New Jersey side and the one on the PA side. So those experiences do influence.
My daughter has never been to Plimouth Plantation, but I've told her about it.
Ellie says
I like the pink feathers on their hats. Your daughter likes to accessorize the characters. May be a future designer?
leoraw says
"pink feathers on their hats" - good eye!
I wonder about those feathers (where did she get that idea?)
Jew Wishes says
I will go with the pilgrims coming to America. My first thought was Columbus, but I am discounting that.
Rivster says
Goodness, it looks like a pilgrim ship. What a great rendering. Art so runs in your family!
leoraw says
Yes, we do have a fair amount of that art gene in our family.
I should post the answer soon...
Please leave a comment! I love to hear from you.
