See and Tell

What do you see in my daughter’s drawing? I can only guess myself. I will consult with her by Monday to find out what she was trying to depict. Have fun with this.

A family outing in a city on a rainy day?

Not sure if it's raining. Need to ask her. I see the sun above them.

Just thought they were carrying umbrellas.

I think you are correct about the umbrellas.

I like how the mother (assuming she IS the mother) is wearing light blue eyeshadow... :-)

Leora says

I didn't notice that. Rest assured, no mother living in this home wears blue eyeshadow.

Mrs. S. says

It amused me, because I remember doing the same thing when I was little - even though my mother would never wear anything even remotely like blue eyeshadow. And the funny part is that now my own daughter frequently adds garish eyeshadow to her drawings! Where do they get these things from?

Wishful thinking on her part? ;-)

Looks like a family of old time aristocrats - girls and woman in long dress and pretty umbrella /which is just a cool accessory/. They are heading to a carriage with a driver parked next to the apple tree on the driveway of their big mansion.

I think I see the horses behind the family.

Leora says

Horses...hmmm...she does like horses. I like your aristocratic outlook.

Did you find out what is it? Is it from a book or imaginary?

Leora says

Oh, yes, I did ask her. Hmmm...instead of saying full details, I'll give a hint.

First of all, your "old time" was right on the mark. She has no idea what an aristocrat is. She used the word "old-fashioned." And the so-called umbrellas are parasols.

Can you guess the season? And there is a villain. Who is the villain, and what kind of villain is she?

Reply
Ilana-Davita says

If they are using parasols, it must be summer.
Isn't the villain Cruella? She looks like Cruella hunting the Dalmatian puppies.

Leora says

No, not summer! I didn't say my daughter is logical.

Not Cruella, though she probably does know Cruella. A real life horrible villain. One that she learned about in school. If I say more, I'll give it away.

I see may be apples on the trees - so I'll vote for the autumn. In my imagination a lady villain running away in a carriage would be Milady from Dumas's Four Musketeers, but it has nothing to do with the real life :) Your daughter is as talented as her mom.

Leora says

You are correct on the season. Yes, I think those are apples, and the family you called aristocrats are supposedly wearing shawls.

I like your lady villain! Though that is not what she told me.

A family..a happy family out in the rain with umbrellas..now I will look at the comments..LOL

The villain is on the right; my daughter told me it is a woman Nazi. And I thought it was a baby girl in a baby carriage.
