This is Pyper's version of Vincent Van Gogh's STARRY NIGHT. I was impressed. I even knew what it was before she told me. I have been praying (seriously I pray about it!) for another artist in the family. I don't think it's fair that my brother Shane gets all the talent. Plus- I don't benefit at all from Shane's art, even though I am somewhat responsible for his talent. It's true. When Shane was about 8 or 9 (I think) I called one of those art schools on the T.V. You know- the one that has you draw a picture of a turtle and a pirate. Anyway- they "accepted" him. My mom spent a few days on the phone trying to convince them that he was only 8- and they should stop calling. So you see- without my "help" Shane would have never realized his potential. In addition to that- there was all of the relentless teasing about how ugly his pictures were. I like to think that it just made him try harder. I wonder why he has never thanked me?

MAYBE AN ARTIST???

good job pyper you are quite the artist. and way to inspire shane meghan you are so great to inspire shane the way you did ;)
Chelsea told me about your post and then scolded me for not being more greatful. So, I know it's well overdue, but...thank you. I'll make sure you get a check in the mail for your portion of the money I've earned through my artistic prowess...it should be enough to buy three or four grapes. Tell Pyper I'm a big fan of her Van Gogh...it's just as good as the original and she still has both her ear lobes.
Oh ungrateful Shane - so typical him, haha. And holy cow Pyper, that rendition IS amazing... definitely worth bragging rights.
Okay, so your family is freaking cute and I can't believe how grown up they all are! It's killing me! Weren't we just barely standing around akwardly at Shane and Chel's wedding last month??? Sheesh! Anyways, I love that Chel conned you into looking me up... she blogs vicariously through me, I just know it. Between the both of us, one day she'll join the dark side too. haha
That's amazing. You should try to sell it on ebay for lots of money.
I LOVE the painting. That girl is seriously talented!
