Kate's FOURTH painting...


This is BLUE VASE.
(We talked about how artist title their paintings)

Kate painted this for her Grandma (Darren's mom) for Christmas who is also quite an artist.

On this one she used blue tape to make the window. We talked a lot about doing the things farthest away first, so the sky through the window were first then the grass and tree and so on. We did a lot of practice boards and talked about dimension (for the vase) and layering (flowers over flowers).

She is really getting the hang of this. I dunno...we may have created a monster. I'm starting a 'starving artist fund' to faciliate the cost of canvas (it's not cheap!)

My prayer: Lord, help me help her. Her confidence levels soar when she is painting. Show me how to facilitate this. ~ Amen

An update:

We gave Grandma her painting at Christmas...He reaction was priceless and it made Kate feel like a million bucks!
