Artist series: Fancy Shoes

Brea is a prolific little artiste. On any given day you will see her at some point at a table drawing - wax crayons, pencil, pen, markers - she mixes and matches filling page after page. Craig and I have been the lucky recipients of many pieces of her art that we have proudly displayed on the walls of our classrooms and on our fridge at home. Though I keep meaning to develop a special wall for their creations.

Brea really started getting things in gear May 2011 with a series of artful suns. Then, she's progressed to more complex subjects like poodles, dinosaurs and the like. These past few days with being home more, I've had the chance to watch her as she worked and a few mornings ago, she created these masterpieces. Okay, so I may be a bit biased but I really think they are whimsical and sweet. For your viewing pleasure, the artist series aptly named "Fancy Shoes" - that's what she called it.
