First Portrait Series

These were some drawings from a couple of weeks ago. Charlotte LOVES drawing and coloring. This was the first time I asked her to draw something for me. First I asked her draw a picture of mommy. She said "OK!" and lifted her etch-a-sketch vertically and started to draw. She paused and peeked from behind her drawing, gave me a good look and continued to draw. A funny gesture to see from a two year old. I imagine she has seen me doing this from my easel many times and must have been where she picked it up. She did this a couple of times as I asked her "What does Mommy look like? How many eyes do I have? Do I have a nose? Mouth? Hair?"After a few moments she turned her etch-a-sketch around to show me what she had created and voilà~!

 Don't I look like a perfect llama! I really thought this was fantastic for a two year old.
So I asked her to draw a picture of Daddy, Grandma and then a portrait of herself.

This is Daddy...

 

This is Grandma ( Great Squidbilly)

And this is her first self-portrait. So sweet...
