Being 16
10/12/2019
Being 16. I've mentioned before that my oldest daughter is now 16. She's got her first job. She has her learner's permit for driving. She's growing up.
Here are some other fun things she's into lately.
She's been doing a lot of canvas painting this year. This was a painting she did for Grandma K's birthday. Its city lights are based loosely on the Chicago skyline. She's very creative and talented.
She's also silly, carrying around towels on her head. But she's also enjoys playing around with Photoshop editing.
Here's the Photoshop version of the above picture.
Funny girl.
She tends to have whims of inspiration that occupy her free time for a season (from a few days up to a month), such as genealogy research, for example. Recently she learned about a local train wreck that happened in 1859. She was fascinated with this topic for weeks, researching online and at our local library to learn as much as she could. She was able to pinpoint the location of the wreck and we drove there one evening to see it for ourselves. She loved this, feeling a bit like she'd solved a mystery.
Another whim was related to the Sears Tower. She watched a documentary that inspired her to build a scale model of the building with Legos. The colors may be off but the architecture is on point!
In some ways, the Photoshop editing and the canvas painting are also whims that come and go according to her inspiration of the moment.
She's so carefree and creative!
