pictures

It's been a while since I posted artwork from the girls.

So, here are some images that they have provided lately (and my interpretations about what this says about them).

Sarah's recent artwork shows a controlled use of color and a strong emphasis on shape and thematic unity. There is also a strong sense of careful work involved. These characteristics are appropriate for a first child, who is often someone who is careful, governed by rules, and conscientious of outside expectations.

Grace's collection of artwork also shows a strong sense of color. There are more pieces of art, but other than the bold color palate shown throughout, there is not a strongly unified theme that goes across all the pieces. Some pieces are bold slashes of color, some are circular, and some are free form objects of no discernable shape. This seems appropriate for a child that is confident, dynamic, and ever changeable. Freed of the crushing expectations of the first child, Grace is free to explore many different paths to happiness.

Hannah, of course, can't provide any artwork for analysis. (She can't even hold a crayon . . . and if she could, she just as likely attempt to eat it as draw with it.) But it wouldn't be fair to leave her out. So, here is her contribution.
