It does this Momma’s heart good to watch my little budding artist. If you recall we have seen glimpses of her artistic greatness in the past. And she just continues to impress me with her constant creativity. Every corner of our house is littered with scraps of paper, pictures, drawings, and notes, basically…little pieces of Emma.
I decided to get my canvases and paints out on Sunday because I have been promising the girls that we would do it, and more importantly because Addie needs some new artwork on her walls now that her baby bedding has been replaced with her new kitty quilt.
But most of my day was spent just in awe of my artiste. She is good. And she has some serious talent…if I do say so myself. She has a lot of confidence in her drawing and painting, she can look at something she wants to draw and she will draw it. And she does it with such a steady and fearless hand. It really is fun to watch.
And her first piece…
And her second…
Notice, they are “signed” pieces, too! Em told J. that artists have to sign their names to the painting. (Although usually they are quietly signed down in the corner…but nonetheless!)
And J. spent pretty much the entire time cleaning brushes out for Addie. And you can see that it really helped keep her colors separate in both of her pieces…
I haven’t finished my two pieces, I still need to put the finishing touches on them, but I’ll post them when they are done.
How about everyone else? Any good stuff to show today?
Emma’s are beautiful! I love her signature. She’s a true artist. And it’s so cute to see her’s and Addie’s together.
All of them are beautiful. I love that Emma has to sign all of her work. So cute. We are totally on the same wave length today!! Here’s mine: http://www.newgreenmama.com/2009/03/my-budding-artist.html
Oh, btw your owl is almost done.
I actually spent some time in the “craft room” last weekend with Lauren. She is making a book from our trip out west! I’ll have to snap a few pics for next Tuesday.
the paintings are fantastic! keep up the good work emma!!
by the way, i got my prize the yesterday (i was out of town when it came and just got my mail from the neighbor last night.) the bag is fantastic! i can’t wait to go shopping to try it out. also, the gardening gloves- too cute!! bean is having a little difficulty with it though, she thinks that all packages that come here are for her. she is mad at me for keeping HER bag. HA HA HA!
thank you SO much!
I love the texture. I’ve never been one for a lot of contemporary art but when you put paint upon more paint upon more on top of texture I just think it looks very cool. I think Addie’s second one is excellent.
LOL, Addie’s pieces look a lot like Anya’s watercolor pieces…the coincidence is uncanny!
Emma is doing such a great job. I love her big signature on her artwork…shows she is proud of her creations. 
Can’t wait to see your finished work.
Oh, and good job in creating your own pattern for the dress. I can’t wait to see it!
She really is quite the little artist! Love that she signed it “to Addie.”
Addie’s look very similar to what I see around here. LOL
I have something for Crafty Tuesday today!
I think you are right, she has some talent, I really like the one she did for her sister. Of course Addie’s great too, isn’t that what they call Modern Art?
I love that you had her paint on canvas! I think that is so great to let kids do that!!!
Agreed with Maya that it’s great you pulled out canvases…gives importance to their work.
I adore that she has the confidence to sign her work BIG!
LOL, that Addie bit got me laughing!
Those are lovely and I love that she signed them, what treasures~
Bwahahahaha
I love Addie’s art
Just found out that you’d moved!!! I am so out of the loop nowadays.
