Art lessons

Just over a month ago, I was approached by Sydney's teacher at school. Mr. Keyes is a successful, local artist who works with Sydney's teacher's class year after year on mural art projects which hang on the walls at school. They have been pretty impressive so far. Anyways, Sydney had drawn the Eiffel Tower and showed it to him one day at school. He bee-lined it straight to the teacher telling her he just had to work with this student! So, free of charge, he is giving her art lessons weekly and she loves it! They have done still life, perspectives, water colors, pastels... He is also taking one of the books she has written and having her add illustrations to it. This man is incredibly nice and so good to Sydney. He told us he was mentored when he was a young boy and loves helping and teaching others. So nice!

That is so cool. Syd is so good at drawing! Tell her to never quit. My kids keep asking when are we going to see our cousins that live far away? So we need to plan something.
