Most of us are creative even though many would deny it. Those need extra encouragement to get their creative "juices" going. Others are creative but undisciplined and need training and focus before their creativity can be appreciated by the rest of us.
My granddaughter Libby appears to be the second type. She is creative beyond her five years of age as these pictures indicate. She likes large canvases for her art which allow her to represent figures almost life size at times.
You will note the happiness in her drawings. There are lots of smiles. (You can double click on these pictures to see an enlarged version.)
Soon these great works of art will be covered by a couple of coats of off-white paint, landlords these days being somewhat fussy about unauthorized decor on the walls of apartments. But I suspect Libby will remain an artist and, with the proper encouragement and discipline, will someday grace the walls of other homes with art that will be even more appreciated.

Arnold,
ReplyDeleteI read your blogs--very sweet.
I hope Libby continues her art some where, some how.
Cheers,
Judy
