Artwork by Jonas & Leonie in Germany

Our philosophy for decorating the nursery in a Noah's Ark theme is to use as much original art as possible - whether made by us or by our friends. We've also enlisted the help of a few children we know.

Imagine our surprise, though, when we arrived at the post office and discovered a gigantic parcel with this painting inside. Sent framed, all the way from Germany, the piece measures 22 x 18 inches or 55 x 45 cm.

Done by Jonas & Leonie, the elementary-school-aged children of Julie's penpal of 20 years, Tanja, and husband, Rudolf (both of whom we have met), the painting is incredibly intricate. Just look at the details the children have included! This painting will, no doubt, provide hours of entertainment and learning for Baby Golding Page, for many years to come.
