And you can tell her I said so(if it sounds like a compliment to her to be "scary good"--which is how I mean it!). : )<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see what she'll do next..I've always felt that way, looking at her drawings. It reminds me of my childhood-only I wasn't this good at her age!Jenny Lerewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668171465801333811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1149261334792255142006-06-02T08:15:00.000-07:002006-06-02T08:15:00.000-07:00Love it!Love it!Scott Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500855570085128757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1149260439606370882006-06-02T08:00:00.000-07:002006-06-02T08:00:00.000-07:00Mom, you still look at me with that "What in the w...Mom, you still look at me with that "What in the world are you talking about?" look on your face. Seriously, I'm so lucky to have a mom like you to have supported my interests back when I was a kid. Dad was too. I was the luckiest kid alive. And now, Andrea and I are trying to give Ava what I had as a young'un, and that's complete, loving parental support. Thanks, mom.<BR/><BR/>Jared, you should realize that I'm grooming Ava to be my assistant. Expect her to be listed on imdb.com soon.<BR/><BR/>Garth, I noticed that it was a 3/4 view as well-- very different from your typical self portrait by a 5 year-old!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your comments, guys. I always let Ava know what others out there in the Internet World are saying about her work. She loves for me to read the comments out to her.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping that she continues to work in this vein, but Ava loves to draw cartoony characters in scenarios more than "realistic" stuff like this. I'm not going to push her-- she loves drawing so much that she'll bring her notebook around with her for several days straight. It gets kinda beat up, but I love that about her. She seems to enjoy drawing and the joy of looking at things all the time. That is something that cannot be taught.Ward Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1149211002084482232006-06-01T18:16:00.000-07:002006-06-01T18:16:00.000-07:00i love this for several reasons.

But second because of the details like the background color and the sweet little smile, which is just how she does it. i just keep looking at it because she really is so good.luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07184069690999108476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1149199391545032542006-06-01T15:03:00.000-07:002006-06-01T15:03:00.000-07:00Hahaha...cute.
