I heard a bird!

Izabella loves birds. Today they went on a nature walk at preschool. When they got back to the classroom they each did a drawing.

As you can see--Izabella drew this simple and beautiful bird. I love her innocent interpretation of the birds feathered wings and little legs.

In art college, I learned how to recognize an educated line. An educated line is the way an artist puts the lines on the paper to create a drawing. The theory is--you can recognize a line drawn by an educated artist--it has a certain air of purpose and intention about it. That said, "Izabella's lines--as un-educated as they are--are so sweetly innocent and careful. And I like them better! So delicate, simple and understated--and I see a bit of confidence in them as well.

I love it, so I had to share the sweetness.

She's come so far in a short period of time. It's shows in all kinds of ways.
