BUDDING ARTIST

I have a budding artist on my hands. Miss Allie is always doodling or drawing her newest masterpiece. She draws on sketch pads, little notebooks, scratch paper or even the sidewalk with her sidewalk chalk. She puts her "keepers" into a portfolio for her fans to adore. She loves to create things too. Give her Popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, pom poms and some googly eyes...who knows what she'll make. Take her to the local bead store or pottery shop & she goes nuts putting together jewelry or painting pottery. SHE. LOVES. ART.

When you ask Allie what she wants to be when she grows up, she always answers an artist. She also has a Plan B, which is to be an art teacher. SHE. LOVES. ART.

So, the other night I went up to her room and she was on her bed with her portable desk. She had her sketch pad and markers at work. She told me she had made a picture for her music teacher Mrs. Dreyer and that she had copied it from one of her art books. I was shocked!! The picture was pretty good...for a 7 year old. We showed it to Scott and he was even impressed. I guess we might have a budding artist on our hands! SHE. LOVES. ART.


Here is the picture she copied:

Here is her version...pretty good 'eh?
