Happy New Year 2011!

Sophia's "Happy New Year, 2011"

Our nine year-old granddaughter drew this whimsicle happening two days before the New Year.  Perfect for my blog : “Grate Thoughts!”  Sophia’s picture just exudes happiness and hope for 2011.

Granddaughter Sophia, the artist

I was amazed at how much detail Sophia included in her drawing….  how about  the animals blowing those noise-makers.  Did   you notice the tiny mouse  joining the fun?

Sophia definitely inspired me to get back to the drawing board to create new art works.

Her Dr. Suess Hat encourages sharing books with  little kids and taking  time for your own leisure reading.

How did she inspire you?  I look forward to your comments and your wishes for the New Year.

    Dear Bobbi,
    Time goes so quickly, already we are marching through the lst month of 2011.

    Thanks for the privilege of my placing remarks regarding your unique work of art. I’m very glad that, from time to time, notice is taken of your work by beneficial sources so that it can be channeled to like artists and other folks who will appreciate, or be fascinated, by your talented efforts.

    Your grandchildren, Drew and Sophia, seem to be inspired by your artworks, which in itself is a great compliment to a Grandma.

    All the very best to you and Al for a very healthy and altogether a good year.

    Rosie,
    At Solivita
