Because my daughter brought home some artwork from school last week, and I cannot help but boast about her talent. I only hope these pictures will do the real thing justice.
First, there's this picture. Elizabeth looked at a picture of herself and drew this one. Then shaded it in with little patterns.
Here's a closer view.
I think this one is amazing, too. Elizabeth admits to tracing the original picture. But then she filled it in with all these little dots. And I am so impressed.
Here's a close-up of this one.
And one more bragging point. Because I'm sure you'd love to see a real picture of this talented young lady.
Right?
*grin*
My little artist got all dolled up Friday night for the big Eighth Grade Dance, and I think she looked gorgeous. Do you agree?
So, that's my girl.
And I love her so much!
Yes - you should brag! She is very talented and beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteMari - Thanks!
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful and her artwork is too! Love the pointillism technique she used on the horse. What a talented young lady...brag away mom!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great summer. Not being on FB is making me a feel a bit out of touch, but I'm getting a lot mor done! Hugs and red cardinals!
Angela - There was a little cardinal perched on the phone line right outside my window this morning. And I prayed for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful girl!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, TALENTED!!! (You know I'm a middle school art teacher, right?) That self portrait is AMAZING!!!! Keep up the great work, Elizabeth!!
Thanks for sharing these, Karen, I LOVE looking at artwork by kids!! :)
Patricia/nyc
Those are great! She is very talented. Thank you for sharing them. It always amazes me what some kids are capable of and I think we need to celebrate it.
ReplyDeleteSmiles!
A mom is supposed to brag! And she is definitely worth bragging over...she is beautiful inside and out. And what talent she has. My favorite is the one of herself!
ReplyDeletePatricia - Then you would be Elizabeth's favorite teacher. She LOVES art class.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell? *grin*
Jennifer - Yes, I think celebrating our kids is a very good thing to do.
Nichole - Thanks for the permission. *wink*
She is indeed beautiful inside and out. What a gift God has given me in her!
WOW!! God has blessed her with talent AND looks!! :o) It's amazing how people see things and I love when I get to experience other's worlds when looking at their art.
ReplyDeleteShe's something else and you have every right to brag!!
Jodi - Thanks. It's fun when other people see the same things I see in my daughter. *grin*
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and talented young lady! Thanks for sharing and for being such a good "MOM"!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and much Joy,
Debby Ann
I absolutely love the patterned self-portrait she did -- that is SO COOL!! I would love to learn how she did it -- that kind of thing is right up my alley. I think she should frame this and keep it -- you could hang something like this in your living room or family room! Elizabeth looks like a very lovely young lady -- and she is very talented indeed! Brag away, Mom! :)
ReplyDeleteDebby Ann - I think she is, too!
ReplyDeleteSara - Ya know? I do need some artwork on my walls...
It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful!
I would be so proud, too!
I once posted about isaiah 6 about how the seraphins talked to each other about God and how that speaking to each other sometimes spoke more truthfully about what we think of God than to him. So that's all you are doing. You're telling us all about Elizabeth because you really mean it!
Only have a few moments to be on the computer, but I had to catch up with you (your posts)
ReplyDeleteThanks for encouragement and your daughter is so cute!!
Very talented and beautiful. I bragged about my oldest son not too long ago.
ReplyDeleteGianna - I really do mean it. *grin*
ReplyDeleteO Mom - So glad you stopped by. I've missed you!
AmberRay - Thank you. I think it's good to brag on our kids. *wink*
So, I think thaqt girl has talent!!! Wow!! Thanks for sharing with us. She looked adorable. Wow!!
ReplyDeleteLeah
You most certainly can brag and with good reason. Wow. You have a wonderful daughter. What a blessing!
ReplyDeleteLeah - Talent, yes. And clearly a gift from God - cuz she sure didn't get it from me!
ReplyDeleteLeslie - Thank you.
talent and beauty...sounds like an Esther! You SHOULD be proud!! great art work!
ReplyDeleteMariel - :) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's ok to brag...the artwork is beautiful! She is very talented. And she looks so nice all dressed up for her dance. Daughters are wonderful, aren't they? :)
ReplyDeleteMary - Yes. Daughters are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteEspecially now that she's a teenager and getting all hormonal, and stuff.
Many would think I'm crazy to make that statement, but Elizabeth and I are able to laugh with one another when one of us is teary due to hormones. We understand each other. And it's great. *grin*
