Kira and I are overjoyed by the amount of love and support
you all have shown to us. I read the comments to Kira and I watch her swell
with pride and motivation. We have gotten a lot of questions recently and
wanted to address a few of them. It is amazing –and hard to believe—that a
seven year old can be so blessed with talent, and just plain adorableness…
sorry, I’m a little biased!
When Kira and I first started drawing I could barely leave
her side during our lessons. Slowly, over time, I started taking breaks and
leaving her alone with her work, titrating her along. It was almost as if she intrinsically
knew what to do. As I portrait artist, I look at faces and see hundreds of
colors, while others might say beige or brown. Kira has that eye for the subtle
nuances of her surroundings opened wide and getting keener by the day. She
works very hard. She does have my help and guidance. If she’s having real
trouble with an area I might make a few marks to show her what I’m talking
about but she is the one drawing.
Kira might grow to be a famous artist. The drawings she
sells now could be worth a lot someday! …Or, she could grow up to be something
completely different. Either way, these memories we are making together now
will be priceless, and either way, I will be proud!
Many of you know, I have four children. I’m sure some of you
might be thinking I’m showing major favoritism for Kira. I assure you, I have
other things I do with them and I also try to include them as much as possible
in the work Kira and I do. Cohen and Carson are handy camera men! They also
come up with great ideas and help edit the videos we make.
If you have any other questions for Kira or myself feel free
to ask! We just might answer with another dorky video!
