A few days ago the kids’ art teacher held an exhibition cum sale of her students’ works. She has some 30 odd students and there were around 60+ artworks on display. Her aim was to encourage her students and showcase their work. And what an event it was! So much talent collected in one place. AMAZING! Each artwork was wonderful and you could see the passion the kids had put in their work.

We had displayed 3 of P’s and 2 of A’s paintings. One of which was for sale. And guess what? IT GOT SOLD! My very good friend bought it to put it up in her holiday home. But the sale made P ecstatic. She was so so happy to have made some money on her own. She was so happy that she put up a second one for sale too! it dint sell ultimately but still. She was so encouraged and happy!

These are P’s paintings. We displayed the Dancing ballerina sketch, the Whimsical horse and the Kerala mural. We sold the Whimsical horse

As for A…. we hadn’t put any of hers for sale. She was happy just to see her best works all framed and put up on the wall. And she received so much appreciation for her work too. She definitely has a knack for painting. She can sit for a really long time patiently painting. She loves to detail her paintings….. and decorate them with stickers….. and add glitter to them….. and use every possible medium she has to make it her best work.

These are A’s artworks. We displayed the Self portrait and the Car with our family 🙂

Whenever the kids do something like that we stick the art work up on our mirror in the bedroom. Its awesome to look at everyday and makes them feel so very special. When another masterpiece is made, we simply replace the old one. It gives them immense happiness that their work is loved and appreciated. It encourages them to do more and make one better than the last.
