I “normally” post a photo on Tuesdays….but I haven’t really been sticking with much of a blogging routine at all these last few weeks!
Whoops.
So. Here’s one of Zoe from this week.
When she has free time, she can often be found at the dining room table, earbuds in, working hard on a drawing.
Being the youngest of four is hard, because it’s easy for her to feel like her drawings never measure up (she’s comparing her 10-year-old drawings to Joshua’s 16-year-old drawings!), but we encourage her, and she keeps at it, and I can see that she’s making lots of progress through practice.

She looks an awful lot like Lisey in this picture!

She definitely does have some similarities to Lisey. When Zoe was a baby, I felt like I was experiencing deja vu sometimes!

An aspiring artist always needs encouragement. The most talented seem to be very critical of their work. My talented son graduated in Fine Arts from the Cleveland Institute and he stills dislikes some of his pieces that I have displayed.

So many benefits to being "the baby"!

Do you have "Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain?" If not, let me highly recommend it. Two art tutors I know, who are good artists in their own right, swear by it. It can be bought used.

I think Joshua has read that, actually! I'll have to ask him.

She's looks so old in the picture. She is still a preschooler in my head.

I know! She's 10.5, if you can believe that.
