Maddie - (grade 2) two paintings

Maddie doesn't fool around ---Give her some space and a few art supplies, and she gets right down to business!  Here, you can see she's  been drawing as well as experimenting with washes of colour.     I find the composition on the left particularly interesting from a creative standpoint:  Using a reference picture,  Maddie began by drawing a rot iron fence in the foreground.  She then disgarded her reference photo and began  working purely  from her imagination, creating         a complex background of buildings and sky!  Great work!
