Three Cheers for Daughter Elise!!!

Our 15-year-old daughter has been on a winning roll!

In the past three weeks, she has had artwork accepted into the FMCC Regional High School Art Show.

She won the 4-H Regional Horse Bowl Senior Title, which advanced her to the state competition at Cornell University last weekend. There, she placed an individual third, which moves her onto the national championship competition in November at the Kentucky Horse Park in Louisville, Kentucky.

And, tonight, she attends an opening art reception for the FMCC College Art Show. She had two pieces selected, both of which she created in this semester's Human Figure Drawing class. (You'll have to see those in person!)

She's wearing me out! And it's a good feeling.

Three cheers from me too. Nice write up in the Leader the other day too.

She received a judge's honorable mention last night. Not bad for a young college student!

Don't know about the Leader. Off to find it. Thanks

Found it!

The newspaper was on the heater drying out. (We love crinkly newspapers.)

Elise won another art award! This time for her cat's ear, which was awarded the Photography Award for the high school portion of the Fulton County Art Show! (I think I'll start taking lessons from her!)
