I continue to watch Mika’s drawing abilities develop while trying to stay as hands-off as possible. It’s just really interesting to me how she expresses her visuals without too much of an outside influence … yet.<\/p>\n

However, lately she has started to pick up all kinds of visual symbols at lightning speed: suns are yellow<\/em> balls with rays, cats look like Luna, flowers have certain shapes and green<\/em> stems, and rainbows are adult-recognizable in shape and colors (see pictures above). The letters are her own spelling of the song title “You Are My Flower”. She is very proud of her new skills (and so are we), but all these drawings are matter-of-fact.<\/p>\n

That’s why i love the days when she still comes up with her own, semi-abstract shapes and connects them to wild storylines.

Below, right: large, pink sail boat (center), circled by 2 pink seagulls and a pink cloud, on blue sea.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
