Mikaela started drawing when she was barely old enough to hold a crayon. Her first drawing that was recognizable was an elephant, we have that picture saved in a protective sleeve. She was 6 1/2 years old and we handed her a large package at Christmas wrapped in shiny gold paper. It was a large pad of drawing paper, "professional" pencils, a T-ruler, and a note. Art lessons! Yes, the Christmas gift of 2004 that keeps on giving.
She started her art lessons in January 2005 and proceeded quickly through the beginner stages of shading techniques. The picture you see in this post is the first one in color that really shows off her knowledge of shading. Her Grandma Ashley, a quilter, loved it so much we allowed it to be framed and it hangs in her living room. Little did we know that this picture was just the first of many...
We hope you enjoy!
