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 ;) ).

Funny, the rabbi association! Daughter does know a fair amount of rabbi-looking men.

I'm thinking it's the Pilgrims coming to America - that looks more like a pilgrim hat than a rabbi's hat to me.

Or Columbus. It could also be Columbus. Either way a Thanksgiving type theme with a voyage of discovery.

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.

Pilgrim Fathers spotting what later became the USA.

Maybe this was too easy. Though the first two guessers said pirates.

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.

I like your initial reaction! I love children's art, too.

If it wasn't Thanksgiving time, I'd say Washington crossing the Potomac but yeah...Pilgrims...

great!!!

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.

I like the pink feathers on their hats. Your daughter likes to accessorize the characters. May be a future designer?

"pink feathers on their hats" - good eye!
I wonder about those feathers (where did she get that idea?)

I will go with the pilgrims coming to America. My first thought was Columbus, but I am discounting that.

Goodness, it looks like a pilgrim ship. What a great rendering. Art so runs in your family!

Leora says

Yes, we do have a fair amount of that art gene in our family.

I should post the answer soon...
