Pirate Paint

After patching up his favorite pirate type pants Eli went out to the garden to do  a little painting.  I bought him some new paints and canvases.  He sketched out the guy he wanted to paint then drew it on canvas with a pencil.  Broke out the new paints and painted him.  He might redo the background or keep it the way it is.  I think it looks cool in that dappled light. 
We are reading a really funny book called The Pirate's Mixed-Up Voyage by Margaret Mahy.  I just pulled it off the shelf at the library and we are finding it quite hilarious.
