Can I draw a picture, daddy?

More of my daughters early artwork to share today, and this stuff predates the images on the post I submitted a week or so ago.

At some point I'll have to get the earliest works (in which real paper was used!) scanned but for now, 11 of the 14 images I have saved from around 7/8 years ago.

The images were all made in Paint. I first used this application at school (probably a few years older than my daughter at the time she made these) and can remember how difficult it was to guide a cursor with this plastic thing the teachers called a Mouse.

I do remember detailing the basics - how to choose different colours, delete/remove things, and change between the brushes and fill option (90% of the app. then) but she was mostly left to her own devices and the ideas on what to draw certainly weren't mine.

A year or so previously, I'd taken my daughter to Portugal for the week and we spent a lot of time at the beach from which you could see a small harbor. The small shells on the photo above are pretty cool :)

It was my job to save the files once complete and I'd try to get a name for the work - The above was named 'Apple tree with daddy and Katy and Me'.

Rainbows, flowers, and cats seemed to be prominent in the mind of a 4/5 year old girl. That's the way it should be isn't it? :)

More love for Katy the (toy/teddy) cat - a gift from her late great-grandma which was (and still might be) cherished by my daughter for years after she passed. I actually found it comforting when I saw the cat each week as it reminded me of my lovely gran.

Fireworks and a rainbow, imagine that - she did :)
