Featured Artist: Grace

My niece, Grace, has always been very creative and artistic. Lately she has been drawing with colored pencils, so I thought that it would be fun to share her wonderful artwork here... in honor of her 10th birthday today!
She is also a devoted reader of my blog,
so if you leave her a comment below,
she'll definitely see it!


Happy Birthday, Grace!




She likes to draw people,
(that's a self-portrait on the left)











and  fruit, 
(like her Aunt Sarah does)

and some amazing animals! 

(She made the frog at clay camp this summer, and drew her cat, Daisy,
just the other night. Isn't that one great? I love the expression on Daisy's face. 
I think Grace has a future as an illustrator of children's books, don't you?)



Happy Birthday, Grace!

  9. Hi Grace:

    You are now not only a published author of 8 going on 10 stories and non-fiction reports, but also a exhibited artist. My favorite, of course, is the clay frog. I would love you to make me one of those!!
    I am glad you had a very fun birthday party and birth day!

    Love, Devyn
