Cars and whimsies






I'm sure I've mentioned that my just 3yo spends many hours each day with her pens and pencils at the dining room table.

Pumping out all sorts of masterpieces you see. I love the ability of children to focus so intently on that which interests them...three of these pictures as you may have observed are of cars - there were many more to choose from.

As for the last picture I can't be sure - but I do recall some disappointment, my dear girl so young telling me her picture wasn't any good. I'm not at all sure where this idea comes from, but I think it's at least part of the frustration of not being able to draw things exactly as they are.

But I love these pictures so much. And I wonder where her absolute devotion to pen and paper will take her.
