Testing out this flickr account.. Maybe then I can go delete all these oddball sized pictures and make this a page that could be read! :-)

One of her daddy's favorites

Dad loves this one. I think they "see" the world the same way.

First painting saved

And here is her first painting I have saved. There were probably hundreds before this, but that was before I became emotionally attached to each piece of art she produced.

She explained to me that this is her under a rainbow - she is happy and her pony Chrystal is watching her.

In the begining

Here is one of the earliest drawings I have saved. Marisa did this last summer. I would guess July or August 2005. I started saving her art around this time. This is our family. Aren't we cute?

Purpose of this Blog....

Well there are a few reasons.

#1 I have a really talented toddler. Of course every mom thinks that about her children so please do not shatter my world by telling me she is merely "average" :-)

#2 I really need something to take my mind off everything that is going on right now and I feel that I can put some positive energy into this.

#3 Nothing makes Marisa more "proud" than when mommy puts her art on the internet. She is constantly asking me to list her pictures on ebay .. She really doesn't understand that I just can't do that. So we are trying to curb her need to show off her skills.
