Look and Tell Drawing

animo
Welcome back to another round of What Do You See? Here is a drawing my daughter did on Thursday, and with her permission, I ask you, what’s in the drawing?

Have fun with this.

I see a bear crossing a flower dappled field with rolling hills under blue skies and bright sunshine. He's carrying something (perhaps his teddy bear {grin} in his arms...

Great drawing!

Oh wait! Maybe he's carrying a bouquet of those lovely flowers......

I also thought it was a bear. I was corrected.

You got the background! Especially the dappled part - her teacher was telling them about pointillism.

It's not a bear? I was going to say bear, too. A mommy bear holding a baby bear, crossing a meadow in the rain.

Could it be a horse and rider? Sort of?

Keep trying other animals. And the piece that you see as separate is part of that animal.

I first thought it as a bear holding her child.

After reading the comments... Hm yes... me too think that it's a horse and rider, an aerial view...

But what's it, actually? We must ask her!

Vishnu, thanks for playing along. Yes, she told me it was a different animal. I'll put the answers in the comments in a day or two.

I thought it was a bear, also. I think it might be a dog disguised as a bear, for Halloween. LOL. Or, a dog carrying flowers on its back.

You got the animal! Now, to figure out what is on its back. It's part of the animal. Not a part this animal has in reality.

A dog wearing a backpack? :D

A dog with a pink sweater? It looks more like a bear with a doll, or a horse with a princess on it, but now that we know it is a dog. May be a dog princess for Halloween?

Dog Fairy? Wings?

I don't know if it's a dog fairy, but "wings" is correct. Ding, ding, ding! You got the wings, and Jew Wishes guessed the dog.

And I found yet another drawing for next week. If she permits...

A rescue dog? With a child on its back?
Lovely background; she has learnt well.

Think fantastic, fantasy. Unreal.

Is it inspired by a fantastic story or totally imagined?

My first impression hills, mountains grass etc, with a bear holding a bear under his arm. I think we all just think like moms and interpretation is a mom function right? baby talk, drawings, teenager talk, body language we translate it all!

I thought bear, but you said no. Some kind of animal like a horse that is being ridden on a trail?

I could be way wrong but I am guessing a Fox or may be a Squirrel?

leoraw says

No. The answer is already in the comments. Thanks for trying.
