Picture Study from the Past...

I think the girls are getting a bit sick of me asking them to do a drawing for Sketch Tuesday and Picture Study every week!  I'm still waiting for their pictures of Renoir's Lady at the Piano, but I thought I'd post the pictures & narrations they did for it 4 years ago.  Hopefully it's an encouragement to some of you that even the little ones can have a go!

 

 

Here is Bethany's Picture & Narration, at age 5 1/2:

 

 

Emily at age 4 found it easier to copy Beth's picture than the original!

 

It is so lovely to look back at these pictures years later.  I keep them in a large clear file which has it's own plastic box so it sits neatly on the shelf.  I'd still love the girls to try this one again!

Those are wonderful narrations and drawings! How special to look back at them after 4 years......
We've just begun our picture studies, but I'm anticipating it to be a favorite part of our week.

What a precious family you have! In the picture at the top of your blog, are the 1st and 3rd girls twins?

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Thankyou for your lovely comments!
Our 2 eldest girls are almost 10 & 8 1/2 (16 mths apart).
On the blog header they are in this order:
Emily (8 1/2), Ruby (2 1/2) Bethany (nearly 10) & Ainsley (6 this week). I have yet to get a picture of them all with their new little brother Thomas. He's almost 4 weeks old now :-)
