Arts the Life!

And so you should be right pleased with her, the picture is brilliant, and I laughed because already she's a critic of her own work at 6! Yes I can see some great times ahead of her, if she's talented at 6 can you imagine all that talent when she's 16! She looked so bonnie in that dress, a little cherub and to be invited to an exhibition at 6, well that is amazing I hope you kept the invitation so you can show it to her when she gets older. I was never talented like that at school and I couldn't draw to save my life, even now I am hopeless at art, any art. Well done Niamh you have made your mum so very very happy and proud. Thanks for sharing xxxx

I don't know about arty but she sure does get her brains from Mum and dad , she looked so proud , tell her me and grandpa think she is brilliant , I keep joking with her will she still talk to us when she is famous lol , She is just a wee sweetheart , xxx

I think it is a very good pic. and the teacher must have been imprest with it or she wouldnt have picked it. good for her .

Hi mummymo! I do think you are doing a great job with Niamh as she has been displaying a lot of small and probably big achievements for a 6 year old. Now, her work is being exhibited! Congratulations! Take care and happy mylotting. God Bless!

You should be very very proud of your daughter, show her off to every one children thrive on praise. Give her all the encoragement to keep trying, Each one of my four children had something special about them, my daughter it was maths, the eldest boy music he can play any instument, the next he loves landscape gardening, the youngest is a footballer, he plays for a big city team. Im not alowed to say witch one, he hates me bigging him up lol. I know if I didnt big them up they wouldnt have thought they could have got this fare, so be a PROUD parent your daughter will go far. Keep happy.

Congratulations to your daughter. It is nice to have a talent. My daughter is seven and has recently been published for her artwork. It makes us mums very proud and it is something to look back on in the future. I can't draw for toffees neither can my husband but obviously the talent comes from somewhere, I think my grandfather who was a keen artist who I likened to Lowry.

You´ve got reason enough to feel proud. She has a treasure, which is her talent and her work has already been exposed. That´s great. Her attitude towards her artwork reminds me of my daughter. She loves drawing and has always been very critical with her work. Others could praise it, she was hardly ever satisfied with it. Reminds me of myself, I used to be exactly the same when I was a kid. I always felt very proud of her talent, I think it´s normal, just means that we are happy that our kids have this special gift which means happyness and sense of achievement to them. Congrats to your beautiful daughter :-) A big hug to a very modest mother! XXX Dana

As I told you last Night she is one clever Girl and she looks so pretty there to I know you won't tell her that but I will because she does Hugs xxxxxxxxxx

Of course you are not being too proud. I think it is great that Niamh has such a God given talent and that you are supporting and encouraging her. You are being a mother to be proud of and I am sure Niamh knows that and loves you.

How exciting. But what a shame Niamh cannot enter the picture of her choice. My girls did not excel at anything while at school although one was very artistic. She simply did not have the motivation to work at her skill or craft...so sad because she had a talent. She was simply not interested in anything that resembled work.... You can never be too proud of your children Mo. Bless you my friend and give Niamh a hug from Tickle please.

That is awesome mummymo. Isn't it wonderful when you see them do things like this. My son's artwork has been posted up in the local public library and the post offices. I think most schools do this. He loves arts and crafts especially painting and I think he gets it from my side. My brother is an artist on the side and my Uncle paints as well and exhibits his works in New Zealand and Hawaii. He is also a well known Pacific Island writer. I am always proud when he does something like this and achieves great things in school and love sharing it with everyone. Thanks for sharing to us about Niamh and I hope she continues to do art throughout her school life :)

Well see that She has inherited artistic talent from her American Gran and Uncles and Aunts. Just another acid test that we are truely related....Hehe Tell her Gran is very proud of her. oxxoxoxoxoxoxo

Her art work is brilliant. Good work, Niamh. I enjoy art very much myself. I hope she continues to enjoy it and to show that talent she has already. You should be very proud, Mo.

You have everything to be proud about Mummymo. Niamh getting into that exhibition is fantastic. She's clearly already going places - such maturity - thought that she had a better painting to enter. LOL. Now that's the sign of someone confident. Have you a photo of the piece that you could put up on your Profile or somewhere. I'd love to see it. I hope that she keeps it up. Well done her. Hugs all round I think. HUGS.

it seems that she is really a very talented child. you have valid reasons to be proud of her. its nice. hope she becomes more successful in life.

Of course you are being overly proud of your daughter... You are MUM, you are suppose to be. Heck remember when they were babies and all they had to do was pee-pee and we were proud and excited? My middle son is the talent in our family, you probably remember from one of Sissy's discussions our first run in with his talent, he used his own green poop as the paint.. LMAO. He has never had anything in an exhibit other than like science and fair projects, but there are alot of folks now sporting his particular brand of art on their bodies. Once Mo I had commissioned a local artist to do a chalk for me as a special gift for a friend. This was before I knew how talented Mark Shane really was. After I got the picture back that I paid for, (it was of dancing frogs), I was a little disappointed. Mark Shane was about 12 then. He said mom let me give it a try, he had drawing pads and chalks, so he set about drawing this picture.... His was ten times better than the one I had, had made. I bought him the canvas and chalks needed for the the gift, the end product that I had framed and sent as a gift was my own Sons. So yes mame we have a right to be overly proud of what some people might think of as a mundane event... To us moms it is the grandest achievement on earth... and Mo, it just might be! BTW Thank you for the happy mothers day. I had a great day indeed.

Although I have artistic qualities, I cannot draw. I like crafts, painting, beadwork, scrapbooking etc. My 11 year old son can draw though and I have thought about putting him in a school for the arts. This year his art was chosen to be displayed in one of the Phoenix art museums. The only problem was the display was only shown in those hours I had to be at work, so I didn't get to go and see it. I was very dissapointed. I can hear your pride and think it is well deserved. Congratulations to you and your daughter. Give her a big mylot hug from all of us. Happy Mother's Day.

Hi Mummymo My kids did not have anything in an exhibit when they were little. but my son was in his ' late teens and entered the photography section of our fair, and won best of show four times in a row for his photographs, I was very proud of him. My husband and I won second prize in a garden display at the county fair that same year. we were so proud of our hundred dollar gift certificate that year.

Sounds like you have a very good reason to be proud of her!sounds like she has a beautiful art filled future ahead of her in life...Sounds like your doing a wonderful job in supporting her dream...My daughter also loves to draw and paint and she is 5 turning 6 this month...So CONGRADULATIONS AGAIN!!!!
