Art Shows

My kids grew up going to art shows.

One Halloween, one of the dads came dressed in flamboyant colors.  Holly, Frank and Joy's daughter, guessed what he was--an art show!

Elena's first art show--Victoria's--inspired her.  Now she wants to have an art show.

Joy has given Elena copies of books she's illustrated, and she's supported her art-making with scraps of fabric.

Nellie taught her how to make masks when she was three.

Day taught her how to make Zentangles, stitching by hand, and other artsy things.

Victoria taught her how to make wonderful splashy paintings with alcohol ink.

We love our artist friends.

Before going skating, she tried on all my scarves--on her head, around her arms, over her shoulders.  When she got the look she wanted she said, "I'm going to wear this to Victoria's next art show!"
