December Drawings: Will this gingerbread house pass inspection?

Before we get to today’s drawing, we need to break for a very important message.

Happy Birthday, Oliver Herbert!

Oliver, who turned 7 today, is the artist behind this fabulous depiction of a gingerbread person alongside a festive gingerbread castle. Oliver probably calls that tall red stack a chimney, but I’m declaring it a candle.

Make a wish, Oliver. And Happy Birthday!

Do you have a budding artist in your home? We’re still taking submissions from children and teens, ages 5-17. Email jennifer@graftoncommon.com with a photo of the artwork and the child’s name and age. If it isn’t quite obvious what the picture depicts, please include a description of the artist’s vision for the piece.

We’ll finish out the year with a full gallery of all the contributed artwork.
