There’s a pretty awesome story that was published back in 2009 about an autistic artist named Stephen Wiltshire who spent 20 minutes in a helicopter over New York and then drew an 18 foot replica of the city.
The beauty in the details he captured is absolutely mind blowing and you can read more about it here.
Now I don’t mean to make this “all about me” again, but Stephen Wiltshire reminds me of a certain little artistic prodigy I happen to know very well…
After just ten years of living in the Seattle area she was able to sketch this replica of the city in less than 20 minutes.
Just saying.

I love it! That story about Stephen is amazing, and your daughter’s art is lovely, as well. I am totally into that penguin drawing, though. Would love to see that finished product. (Penguins rule!)

That’s pretty awesome.

She’s gonna make her momma a rich woman. ;-)

I’m hanging on to that one…

It’s like looking at streetview on Google maps :)
I love the penguins, too, particularly the diving one.
Kat says
I would not be surprised if someone from Google Maps finds this blog post and offers to hire my 9 year old TODAY. That being said, I’ll wait until she’s 15 or so to really push her into the map business.

That kid is SO going to support you in your old age. You may want to ensure that by slipping her extra treats now ;)
Kat says
She’s at the top of the will. Those other two have some catching up to do.
Jenny says
That is so amazing.
Your daughter is pretty talented. I agree with Kat M, extra treats would not hurt ;)
