Moriah's First Refrigerator-Worthy Art

At the ripe old age of two and a half, Moriah has decided to take up art.  On a daily basis, she goes to the drawer where we keep paper and pulls out a piece, then goes to the homeschool closet and gets out the colored pencils; and then starts doodling.  What's even better is when she hears her brothers asking for a coloring picture to be printed from the computer; she eagerly requests--and receives--one, too.

With having a new dog in the house, I've been fielding lots of petitions for dog coloring pages.  Tobin colored one like a patchwork quilt, which I thought was creative and nicely done.

And Moriah?  Well, you can see her style of art.  ;-)

It was fun to put her picture on the refrigerator to be admired by everyone--the first of many works of art she'll grace us with, I have no doubt.  ;-)

Here is the little artist herself this morning.  When I looked out from the kitchen and spotted her on the porch, I grabbed the camera.

 And when she looked up and saw me watching her through the window, her eyes brightened...

 ...she waved...

 ...and then showed me that she was using a marker.

She isn't really supposed to have free reign with the markers, but she is getting more responsible with them, so I let her continue using them.  So what if her hands get some marker ink on them; it will eventually wash off.

It's the price of creativity.  ;-)
