Maci's Place

This weblog is inspired by my daughter. Her interest in the arts seems to be increasing rapidly. We'll post things she's created not only to share with you, but to track her progress as she grows. It'll be fun to see where this talent takes her in the future!

Nature Lover

Something to do

My mom, Walt and I were having an intense conversation. Maci figured out that she needed to entertain herself and not interrupt (after several attempts). I noticed that she had grabbed some paper and the video. She was trying to draw what she saw from the video. I think she was trying to draw Baby Einstein in the top, right corner....not sure. I was just happy to have no interruptions! :) Can you see the watercolor painting in the corner of the picutre. I love it! She's started to draw/paint bows on the top of her girls' heads.

Something for George

My dad was driving through to visit a friend, George, in the hospital. Maci immediately wanted to draw something for him. So she quickly drew this while my dad waited. I love it that she is thoughtful and cares about other people. She has started some specific "symbols"...the grass, the sky, the sun, and the subject....and of course her name at the bottom.
These are two ladybugs. One is the mom and the other is the baby. I bet you can guess which one is which.

Finally.....we are outside!

Maci has been patiently waiting for the weather to warm up so that she can play outside. Here is something she "painted" the other day. I say painted because she likes to get the cement all wet and then use the chalks. It is a more intense and bright effect. I like it. I don't blame her for wanting to do it this way...it's messier too! She drew her name at the top. ;)
