Yep, that's what she called it. I asked her what it was a drawing of (you learn to ask, because if you guess and you're wrong, she gets quite upset with you), and she said it was The Queen of All Madness.
i worry that she's got her dad's almost crippling perfectionism. this morning, as i was compimenting her on it once again, she was practically demanding that it be destroyed rather than let her grandmother see it.
No, she often says that... she wants to get rid of something she doesn't like instead of letting other people see it.
For instance, once made a drawing in pre-school for Mom-mom, and on the way to the car a raindrop hit it and made a blur spot. 24x36" sheet, one smaller than a dime spot. She was SO upset, wanted it torn up instead of giving it to Mom-mom.
When it comes to creating things or making things, I admit I attempt to hold myself to a higher standard. "If it's worth doing, it worth doing well." and all that. That is not the same as crippling perfectionism though. It just means I take pride in my work and try to do a good job at it.

on 2004-08-18 09:11 am (UTC)That is odd she doesn't want her grandmother to see it... makes me wonder if that is who the picture is of?
I think it is a great picture... how she represents movement and caos(gosh i can't spell)
