I found a way to paint a muppet! I believe Grover rounds out my fuzzy trio nicely (pink lion, moth, and muppet). I had completely forgotten about my husband's old tiny stuffed Grover. He was up sitting on a shelf clutching a shriveled pumpkin (The story behind Grover and the pumpkin's relationship is convoluted and will be saved for later.) His proportions are a bit different than we usually see on Sesame Street (not to mention this guy is tiny) so with his big head, short limbs, and more rounded body I believe he is a younger Grover. Here he is still daydreaming about becoming Super Grover. The only thing I missed was that amazing nubbly fur that Grover has on Sesame Street. Oh well.
Here is a favorite Grover clip of mine, I watched it earlier to get inspiration.

Oh My Gosh! This is WAY TOO CUTE.
ReplyDeleteWhen my daughter was a little girl, Grover was her FAVORITE!! We still have her "dough, dough", as she used to call him.
Good luck with Leslie's challenge.
I am participating, too. So far I'm keeping up.
I agree with Joan...this is so cute that I may be smiling all day! My oldest son loved Grover when he was little. One of his favorite books was about what Grover did in the course of a week. Ah, the good ol' days! Thank you for sharing this adorable painting. :o)
