Mara’s first watercolor experience . . .
This was before all the colors got mixed together. Of course, she chose pink first.
Unfortunately, she gets her “form” from her mother, who also used to stick out her tongue while drawing and painting . . . and sewing . . . and playing the piano . . . and . . .that was a lonnnng time ago . . .
“Mommy drew the rainbow,” Mara explained to Daddy later.
“Ohhh,” remarked her ever-gushy father, “and you did all the splotches?”
“Yes!” Mara exclaimed proudly, as if it were the hugest compliment.
Someday, when she’s a world-renowned artist, these pictures will be famous. . .
And I’ll be proud to say that was my rainbow amidst her splotches!
Barring some freak of genetics, I don’t see “world-renowned artist” in her future. So we won’t plan on saving these to help fund our retirement . . .
So cute! I love reading about your family!!!
I was going to leave a comment along the same lines as Daniels…she would have to be a complete freak of genetics. Have you seen Dan’s stick figures recently??? lol it’s ok…we all turned out ok even being desperately bad artists! idk if that was encouraging…
There is a great more artistic talent in all of you than you realize–and for Mara, the sky, with rainbows, is the limit!
