I think sprite did a wonderful job. It is a shame when people are negative and have to try and bring others down.

Tell Sprite Em gets comments too...hers are from kids who cannot figure out why she likes to examine pond water, take photos, and draw . We do this at our neighborhood park and it always attracts a crowd of kids. Your photos are precious! And the bridge could not be more perfect for Monet!
June 10, 2008 - Well, I for one....

Great job. Looking forward to seeing you. Does she need a trip to Spotlight for some pencils?

I think she did a really great job! And, I think it is great that she was so confident when others were telling her they didn't like it. And, I just love that she "asked" to draw like Monet! :-) It's a beautiful bridge, too.

I love her drawing! Just the right amount of detail to flesh it out and not overwhelm!
Even more though, I love her sweet spirit to take distractions as they come and adapt her subject to accomodate them! How wonderful that she drew the children instead of just the bridge. (That bridge scene is lovely, by the way!)
And I love her confidence, and willingess to let her art stand independent of other's opinions! (Especially of opinions of people who don't happen to have a sketch pad of their own in hand.) ;)
Beautiful, Sprite!

Please give Sprite a hug for me and tell that I am soooo very proud of not only her drawing but her attitude. I think instead of Sprite you should call her Spunky because she definitely has spunk. :)
I am going to be linking to your entry...it is a keeper.
I couldn't agree with your last paragraph more.

Well, I'm with her. I BLOG for myself, so it does give one a certain amount of confidence. You've done such a great job with teaching her about the masters!

Lovely sketch!
While I love to draw and paint, it is one area that I am not very confident in... I don't know if I would have the courage to create like that in public. What a wonderful teachable moment for her-- and FUN!!!
June 11, 2008 - Hooray for your little artist!

Wonderful drawing, and even better attitude!
Thanks for the warning; that happened to someone I know, too. Fortunately I have copied and moved all my posts so it won't be a big deal for me if it happens. But I will miss your comments! :-)
Blessings,

What a great experience!
My daughter was drawing with watercolor pencils the other day and on a whim I asked if I could join her (not a usual occurance). All the other kids gathered around watching us draw oohing and ahhing. At one point, my eldest daughter said, "See Mom, you are artistic. Sure, if you compare my sunset to the average 8 year old. ;) It was fun though, and I realized that I need to do more things like that with the kids.

That is a beautiful drawing she made. That is awesome that she was so confident to be drawing for herself.

Hi Jimmie,
This is lovely! I have two daughters who are natural drawers, we're working on the other one!
Thankyou for your kind comments on my blog re the artist study group. Now I can put a face to the name and realise I've seen your comments on some of the outdoor hour challenges too and have also visited your blog before.
All the best,
Rachael.
