Mikaela LOVES Frogs! And since she has yet to do any art for herself, she decided to do a frog for herself in Watercolor. She spent a lot of time on it and we think the time she took was worth every minute, every second! It's stunning, for those of you who can't see it in person trust us! Currently she is doing another frog and this time her medium of choice is oil. When she finishes that one we'll post pics of course!
On a slightly different note, Mikaela got a great opportunity this summer to go to Chicago's Art Institute and take a week long art camp. Thanks to some of our "framily" (that would be friends who are really more like family!) she hung out in Chicago for a week, got to experience this art camp and see some of the sights! Now we are wondering if there are any opportunities for her in other cities like New York City where we have family! While visiting NYC in July we of course spent some time at The Met. It's a must destination every time we hit the Big Apple! We love perusing the amazing artwork from centuries past up to today and all the different styles, genres, and mediums! This trip we spent a lot of our time exploring the Egyptian wing as you can see from a photo of Mikaela in front of some mummies. It was a great day at The Met, as usual!
