A few months ago, Ruby made a really fun painting while visiting artist Kim West during one of our Career Day trips. Now, we have so many pieces of Ruby's "art" that I don't keep (I just can't keep) every single piece. But this one was so large and vibrant, that I couldn't part with it…
We decided to frame it, and I've since added it to the large gallery wall in my studio! I love it! And Ruby's so proud to have a piece of her art on the wall…
P.S. I got this custom-framed through Simply Framed where you can send in anything, and they'll frame it. As a special discount for Oh Joy readers, use code OHJOY for 10% off all orders at Simply Framed.
Love the colors on this one 🙂 Children are so creative!
It’s beautiful! Kid’s artwork is the best!
So fun! My daughter (Ruby’s age) is a prolific art-maker as well, and I keep meaning to collaborate with her on a big mother-daughter painting. That’s something that would be so great to frame and display!
I love this idea. My grandma actually made us cousins all paint something one afternoon when we were little (i’d say from 2 to 7) and then she framed our pieces. When she died we all got our piece back and I still have it, side by side with a beautiful one that my son made last year at 18 months. I think it gives value to what they do and it encourages them to get creative !
Beautiful! I love reusing kid art as “real art”.
I love this! It adds such a bright pop of color to your room and I’m sure your daughter feels proud to have it hung on the wall!

That’s such a cute idea! It’s a great inspiration piece. She’s a little artist!

Love how creative kids are!
I did the same thing withmy boy’s painting. He’s 4 yrs old as well. It’s beautiful, with so much color and I proudly display it in my leaving room.
Hi there! The OHJOY promo code did not work! Any suggestions?
Love the colors! What a treasure for Ruby when she’s older…
Hi Nicole!
Sorry about that! It should work now!

This is such a great idea! I have a friend who does the same with artwork from her boys and it’s such a creative way to inspire them to be artistic. I don’t have children, but I hear you can end up with a few hundred pieces of ‘art’ from them and this is a nice way to display some of it.

Love this idea. I’ve been working on a similar project for my kids. Thanks for inspiration to finish it.
Thanks Carol!
