   Maia's Art Day    Let's all feel happy today.      This is a unicorn princess named Sunbeam, from a series of chapter books that Maia is engulfing.      And this one is Prism, from the same series, of course.      Many nights after Maia has "gone to bed", she'll pop out of her room and leave a sign for us, informing us of upcoming events. Rainbow Dash Day was a Halloween costume creation event sponsored by My Little Pony.      Maia started by copying these song lyrics out of her "Purrmaids" book. She then invented a melody for it. Aftewards, she added even more original songs to the songbook, such as the future hit, "Where'd the Magic Bunny Go?" ...

   Maia's Art Day   More notable artwork from April 2023.      They draw a lot of self portraits in Art class these days.      Instruction manual for riding a bike.      She has an umbrella to keep her dry.      Two bunnies waving at each other from across the river. I'm most impressed by the advanced use of perspective in this art. The far bunny is smaller! The near bunny is facing away! Artistry!

   Maia's Art Day   Notable artwork from March 2022    Hang on to your hats. I'm going to post more of Maia's artwork because I simultaneously want to remember it forever but don't want it all cluttering up the living room shelves!     These cats are CRAZY.      Half of us are surprised by the cat.      Though not perfect, Maia's phonetic spelling of words is improving.      This is the lyrics sheet for a song Maia wrote about love.      I'm not in this picture because I'm "in the kitchen making dinner". Can you spot Ian's band-aid?      A butterfly, of course.      Rebe...

   Maia's Art Day   Notable artwork from February 2022    Maia's artwork is increasing in output and starting to remind me of  my own early art .     The cat is sad that the bunny ate all of her carrots.      Technically the truth.      A Valentine's caterpillar.      Looks like Maia will be adopting the lesser known MM/YY/DD format, using snowflakes as a divider.      Maia is really into Number Blocks right now.      These sea things were drawn using a "How to Draw" book I got her.      Highly accurate mapwork.

    Maia's Art Day   Notable artwork from November 2022 - February      Another collection of scary monsters.      Various buildings in Cattown. Some have flowers growing out of the roofs.      A vertical map of a bunny's burrow. The mommy bunny is asleep in the bedroom but the baby bunny's butt is on the mommy bunny's face.      Maia's kindergarten teacher is currently trying to nudge Maia towards making less flamboyant As.      The last smudgy bunny is Olaf Bunny.      Groundhog's Day!

    Maia's Art Day   Notable artwork from September - October      The cat is friends with the bird. It flies out of the tree to make friends with the squirrel. The mouse is scared.      Here are some mazes that Maia made in September. She wanted Rebecca and I to compete in a speed mazing competition. In the upper right one, you have to get the carrot through the bunny and into the toilet.      This is a set of switchback trails leading up Bunny Mountain, while airplanes fly overheard.      Maia drew this in kindergarten for a "What I Did This Summer" assignment. Clockwise, she swam in her cousins' pool, made popsicles, played soccer with the neighbours...

    Maia's Art Day    Even at 4 (this was painted in May), Maia was better at watercolours than I ever was.      A rare crossover fiction between Bunnytown and Cattown. They are sharing near a volcano.      This is a bunny family with a baby bunny hopping in the background. You can see the action lines.      Maia drew this bunny with fancy coloured pencils at her grandparents' house.      One of Maia's first Kindergarten assignments, she decided that the squiggly line was the butt of a fish.      This is a tree at sunset. The tree was handcrafted and artisanally cut by Maia as well.

    Maia's Art Day   Portraits of the artist as a preschooler      I particularly love the evolution from "I have exactly 20 fingers and toes" to "Drawing all the fingers and toes is boring" to "I'm polydactyl!"

    Maia's Art Day   Notable artwork from the month of April    One afternoon, under the watchful eye of the babysitter, Miss Laura, Maia decided to make cutout bunnies. She painstakingly outlined and then cut each bunny, as well as clothes and shoes that could be folded onto the bunnies.     Here is a self-portrait Maia made that matches the clothes she was wearing that day:     So many bunnies holding hands:     The Easter Bunny is here hiding eggs. Notable hiding places include a bird's nest and the trunk of a car:     These bunnies just ran a race and received trophies:
