Art

Brooke loves to copy her older sister. She loves to paint with her, and color and draw.




I think Olivia is putting out some good work for Brooke to learn from. This is just a small sampling of her work. She does handfuls every day.

This is Olivia walking down a path. I thought it was pretty neat that she drew herself from the back.


Daddy cut out paper dolls for the fun of it (to impress Olivia). She was not happy with pale, plain paper dolls, so she gave them the "Olivia treatment". They are named Olivia, Brooke, (Aunt) Carol, Mom.


A dog (Scooby Doo is her absolute favorite).


This next picture is work she brought home today. It seems her style has changed literally over night. These faces make me think of comic book characters.


This is her version of a stained glass window in the pizza place we ate at in Fort Wayne.


This is her version of Kai Lan.


An ink rendering of Strawberry Shortcake.


Olivia and her snowman.


Me. Thank goodness she didn't add the wrinkles!


Her birthday card for Uncle Dave's 50th birthday next Sunday. Yeah - half a century!! (He never looks at the blog, so it'll still be a surprise to him.)

It amazes me that she can draw like this. Last year at this time she was drawing more like Brooke is drawing now. Scribbles. It's fun to see the different light bulbs pop on in her brain... When the kids in pre-k all draw a picture about the same theme, the teacher hangs them on the large windows on either side of the door to the classroom. You can always spot Olivia's work in an instant. Most of the kids draw smaller stick figures or scribbles on the center of the sheet. Olivia's sheet is always filled edge-to-edge with color and detail. She's pretty proud of her work and it gives her alot of self-confidence.
