Our Budding Artist

Keno's work had a fun idea for their Christmas Card this year.  They sent out an invitation to the children of the employees-- of all ages-- to design and draw a picture based on the theme 'Winter Wonderland'.  The winner's picture will be featured on the Slalom Christmas card for all employees and whomever they send them to. 

So Sadie and I sat down and talked about what she thinks of when she hears...Winter Wonderland. Then we looked through old projects she had done from school and such.  She picked a ballerina dancing in the snow.  I got out MY good watercolor paper and some cool liquid masking for watercolors and she went to work.

Ballerina in the Snow

 

 

If you know Sadie then you it is obvious that her dress would be rainbow colors and in the correct order, too --red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, too.  And the ballerina would be a princess and have a crown.

 

We sent it in and I think she forgot all about it...with Halloween coming up and all who wouldn't?!

Keno got this from Slalom a few days ago...

"I wanted to let you know that Sadie's design will be featured on the cover of the Slalom holiday card. Everyone loved her painting and we are very excited about the card. We were also able to feature designs from 11 other kids throughout the card, but Sadie's painting is the featured image on the cover. Please let us know if you are ever in the area, we would love to meet her and give her a tour of the studio. You have a budding artist on your hands, good luck with that. :)

 

Please extend a big congratulations to her from all of us at the studio!"

 

...I was driving when I got Keno's email, so I had Kameron read it to me.  I nearly cried!  I was so shocked and happy and amazed and excited!  

 

Way to go Sadie! 

 

Bring on the budding of our artist!!
