Give Us This Oklahoma Day: The Faces of an Artist

2.06.2012

The Faces of an Artist

It's her passion lately
She would draw ALL day long

She is taking art classes and will soon be starting Mini Masters at our local Art Museum
It makes me want to buy her "real" artist tools
We're excited to see what may come. . . we were talking about pictures in our books the other day & I was telling her that she could draw like that when she's bigger, she could draw the pictures in books! Her face LITE up!!

And if her current passion goes nowhere I will still have 1 million pictures from when she was 4!
