She apparently was one of a select group of area students who had their school artwork chosen to be part of a special display at our area art center. They are honoring her and the other kids at 5 this evening. She is a pretty talented artist (I had her illustrate one of my children's books) so it isn't much of a surprise. But, we don't even know which piece of artwork was picked. We asked her but she was never told.

She must be so excited. Of course you are proud of her as well. You should take a picture of her work and post it here.

Actually, she's pretty much just going with the flow on this. I don't know if she really understands what kind of honor this is or not and would probably prefer to just come home and crash in front of the TV.

you must be a proud parent now, who does not if the kid is talented.

She definitely gets it from her mom. I can't even draw stick figures.

@ilocosboy Oh, there are artists in my family too. My dad, before he had health issues, used to make beautiful wood work sculptures and my brother also has that talent. It skipped me though.

I am and I told her older sister she should be too since she spent a lot of time doing art projects with her.

the older sister is probably taking her time and enjoying it at the moment.

Nope, again, not me. I have no artistic ability.
