When asked for her Friday evening restaurant selection, Katie offered up Pizza Inn. Good one, Katie! One of our favorites. We arrived to find the place packed and had to wait in line momentarily.
As she often does during these brief waits, Katie perused the dividing wall onto which the owners tape up coloring sheets completed by children. Being the expert artist that she is, Katie enjoys checking out the colored bears, puppies, kittens, etc. and explaining which ones are "good art" and why the bad pictures can't be classified as "good."
After finishing her slice of cheese pizza, bowl of steaming broccoli soup, and chocolate chip pizzert, I corraled a coloring sheet and crayons for her so that she, too, could contribute to the art wall. She found this especially exciting.
Her first gallery piece was a puppy wearing a party hat. When finished, she walked with me to the front of the restaurant and got the attention of one of the employees. The lady gave her a piece of tape that we then applied to the top of her sheet. Katie proudly stuck her "good art" to the wall. I guess she's now officially an artist with exhibition experience.
