I am sooooo proud of my niece Emma!!! She has come so far since I first met her. I was there on our summer vacation when she scribbled a little stick man on a magna doodle and we all thought "Hey! That actually kinda looks like a person!" And from there she has continued to impress me with her artistic achievements.
She recently won 3rd place in the state kindergarten art contest for Georgia. Every time I come to her house she makes sure that I get a little piece of paper filled with color and life, and I always make sure to post them in my cubilcle at work.
The picture to the left is her version of the Mona Lisa... Pretty great huh? Definitely happier than the original, and I think if the real Mona had a bow that big on her head, she would surely crumble under it's sheer magnitude.
If you are wondering why I am this excited (besides the fact that she is my niece) it is because when I was a kid I was a bit of a color placer on the pager myself. If I hadn't gotten into acting and improv I probably would still be drawing and animating.
I like this particular picture a lot. It makes me smile and for some reason stirs up and replinishes my hope. I won't over analyze that for fear that I'll break it and it' will be gone.
Go Emma! Keep on a-drawin' girl!
