Sammie’s Paintings


Sammie has become a little painter lately.  Grandpa Atkins took her aside for something fun to do and came up with this at the end their time in the art studio:

Here’s a close up:

We were all really impressed and now that painting is framed and on the wall in our living room.  Sammie liked picking out the frame at Michaels.  We had it professionally done to make it extra special. 

Then when we got back to town I called up her Uncle Brian who lives here in STL and he was willing to continue some art lessons for her.  Here’s what they have been working on for a few weeks.  It’s going to be a birthday present for my dad.  I’m kind of sad to see it go though.

She wants to redo the signing, but I like it.  It reminds me that she’s 11. 

We are so proud of her and we feel so blessed to have such talented family who can guide her as she discovers her art.  Thanks grandpa and Brian!

Here she is with the teachers.
