I Love My Ella

My daughter Ella is an artist. She's sort of clumsy and is always hurting herself, but she sure can draw and paint. She loves it, and it comes naturally to her. Here she is with her younger sister Sarah. They got a new sewing machine for Christmas.Here is a sample of her original artwork, now framed and soon to be hanging on the wall in my bedroom. Isn't it pretty.
This is a drawing she did recently. Check out the shading on that apple. She's good. She might need to work on her spelling a bit, though, don't you think?

But it is so cute that she spelled it wrong!!! :) What a great artist! I cannot draw, so I really admire those who can :) That's an awful cute pic :)

That's too cool that they have their own sewing machine! And I love the artwork!

I love her artwork. I haven't photographed any of Aaron's in a while - he is our resident artist!

Maybe a bit more time on spelling is warrented - but misspelling "school" is what makes that picture worth keeping! Really cute!

By the way, that look on her face is so classic Joanna! I love it!

That butterfly is beautiful! She has a good eye for color, and, as you mentioned, shading.
