Hi Franny,
I love the eyes and snout on the green pig.
The heart is very special and the flying little bumble bee!
I am happy that you love your little baby brother. Nino is flying empowered by beautiful flowers

Franny,
If this is a pig, then it is a puff pig.

Fran,
It is clear to me that you are a wonderful artist. I am particularly fond of the picture of Nino. I would not have guessed that you are only 6 years old. These images bring me a lot of pleasure! Thank you for sharing them!

Thanks for your feedback Leslie. I did this “interview” with Fran in a not very serious way, but thinking about it, it occurred to me that in the past I have not been talking with her about her artwork as much as I should. In a recent post I asked, Is children’s art “Art?” I think for me, the answer has been, No. I want to try to take a closer look now and reevaluate my feelings on the subject.
