It's priceless. All of us female artists(god--sounds so clinical!)started out as little girls like Ava and I'm sure recognize ourselves in her growing facility and the flights of her unfettered imagination...but few of us had parents as cool as you two, I'm afraid. Have you ever read about the Wyeth family--when N.C. Wyeth's children were small, and three out of the five were inclined towards art(one was an engineer, one a musician and composer)? It's always made me certain that the early support and guidance of the parents is more potent than anything else in the world, determining an interesting life. Your family has quite a good start!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1122561756834027872005-07-28T07:42:00.000-07:002005-07-28T07:42:00.000-07:00That's a great picture!We Love Ava!!That's a great picture!<BR/><BR/>We Love Ava!!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199122506861595106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1122558760783032922005-07-28T06:52:00.000-07:002005-07-28T06:52:00.000-07:00youre such a sweet dad. hope she had a wonderful b...youre such a sweet dad. hope she had a wonderful birthday! love the photograph, perfect for the occasion and the post.chachahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426087304497614208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1122556962944417412005-07-28T06:22:00.000-07:002005-07-28T06:22:00.000-07:00Thank you all, for the wonderful comments.
