I love it when my daughter brings home her art work from the studio she goes to every Monday. It's like a glimpse into her mind, some self-expression in art form that she is unable to do verbally. I'm gathering that they were given the task of illustrating the Jubilee - I think she's done a remarkably good job of painting the Queen. This is painted on silk, which seems to be Stacie's favourite medium and possibly what she's best at.
Here is a self-portait - I'm not too sure of the significance of the massive crown - perhaps in the spirit of the Jubilee, perhaps she has delusions of grandeur! I love the fact that for all the abstract quality of the style, she's actually caught a very good likeness of herself.
For those of you new to my blog, I would just point out that my daughter has Down's Syndrome, which makes her paintings very special in my eyes.

These paintings are awesome! I love the quality of her work. Good job.
The queen is awesome. Well done to your daughter!
Wow, the paintings are amazing, Down's Syndrome or not. She has great talent and both the queen and herself are recognisable. They both look fab. :-) xoxo
They are very imaginative and completely original. I've never see work like this before and it reminds me of the creative genius of Van Gogh. Stacey should definitely feel very proud of herself for creating such lovely artwork :-)
Tremendous work, she's obviously inherited her artistic talent from you. I like the mosaic treatment she's given the silk, very original. These are definitely special, and not because she has Downs Syndrome. I see the "crown" on her self-portrait as more of a big hat, holding all the ideas in which are waiting to get out and astound us some more! I know she's in safe hands in encouraging her art, thank goodness she doesn't have an art teacher like your old one (and mine!)
