Going once...going twice....

Come on people...you know you want to pay some big money for these Annie originals!!

This Elephant was Annie's first time using Charcoal as a medium.

Mike named this picture, "Girl who just broke up with her boyfriend." Maximize the picture and look at her face. She does look a bit distraught. While you have it zoomed in, take a look at all the details! The shadowing, the knuckles, the swing of the pants. Annie the Amazing strikes again. :-) (The flower clip in the girls hair was not in the original that Annie was looking at. She added that herself. That's my girl. :-)


Annie told me that while she was drawing the lady walking, she got very frustrated. She was having a hard time getting the hair just right. She explained how she felt her throat getting really tight and she had to walk away from her work for a little while. Then she calmed down and decided to start in a different place. (the feet) What a sweet girl. And what a good lesson for her to learn.

If she can do that NOW, I can only imagine what she will be doing as an adult. What a fun talent to have been given. Lucky girl!

Heather said...

Talk about talent! I'm thinking buying one now is going to be a great investment for later when she's rich and famous!!

Wow! I'm glad to see all the art supplies you've gone through over the years are paying off...I'd like an Annie Original - maybe something abstract for my office.

She's got an amazing eye for detail. The more I talked with Phil about artists, the more I realized the eye is where the talent is and the hand is where the skill is. Annie seems to definitely have both and the skill will just get better and better. I want her next masterpiece! :)
