This past weekend We attended my daughters high school art show. Her entire AP Art class was involved and there was some pretty great stuff. Of course I was most interested in her pieces since I hadnt seen some of them yet.


Her concentration for this class is churches. She and her father went on a little excursion to photograph area churches and cathedrals and then she made some of the architectural details the subject of these drawings done in colored pencil.

I took some of these at a weird angle, but you get the idea. This is one of my favorites, a watercolor of sunflowers. I just love the brilliant colors she used.

Last week, sweet Amy of Bunny Rose Cottage gave me this:
Thank you Amy! I am going to give this to each of you who stop by my blog and who take the time to leave me little notes and emails. Each of you who support me through my etsy shop, all of you who are such a source of inspiration and great ideas. In short, All of you! Thanks for brightening each day for me:>)

  18. good morning, sweet Kathy Grace...
    thanks for coming to see me this morning and leaving such a fabulous idea about my cabinets. Just wanted to tell you I am going scrapbook paper shopping today. I may get a tiny bit of several and give them a try. Probably will have to post them and get your opinions! :) Fun, fun...

  19. Oh my gosh, you daughter does incredible work. I agree, though, my favorite is the flowers. I love flower prints. Thanks for visiting me here in Alaska and, yes, we do have signs of spring this week! The skunk cabbage is starting to peak through but we're still getting daily snow flurries. It'll take us another month or more to get in the full swing of spring.

    What a talented young woman! Certainly she seems to be like her Mom. Does she have plans to study art in college? She should!

    Thanks for sharing your award, your blog ALWAYS brings me a smile!
