Art Scholarship

Rachel received an art and music camp scholarship from SUU because she showed "outstanding potential in art". She has been very excited to attend. It was held each weekday, for three hours, for the past two weeks. Our kind neighbor was taking her grandchild and offered to drive Rachel to and from Cedar City each day.

They held a performance the last day of camp. Rachel sang songs and then there was an art exhibit. A woman working for the University says Rachel is very talented and our neighbor has insisted Rachel draw her a few pictures so that when Rachel is famous, she can make a lot of money off the pictures. These are some of the pictures and painting she did.

The above picture is of the Zollinger Reunion at Bear Lake. She's got Grandpa driving the boat and aunts, uncles and cousins, riding the tube, swimming and playing at the beach. I thought it was excellent.

This picture is at Grandpa and Grandma Zollinger's house. She has Grandpa in the house waving, then our family playing on the swing set, and Grandma is outside playing with us. There is also a parachute in the sky because Grandpa and Grandma's house is by a popular glider spot.

This is Rachel and a life-size painting of Me! She did a great job on it, and I have decided to carry it around and shove it into pictures whenever I'm supposed to be in one.

Rachel is on the far right, second one in. She is singing with the other art and music kids.

Rachel loves art. She has been fun the past two weeks to come home and guide us through what she has learned. They have had some watercolor projects and sketching that have been really fun to watch her get excited about. She wants to do it again next year....but we might have to hope for that $100 scholarship again. I am flattered that everyone (including myself) thinks she is very talented. I just hope she continues to enjoy it, can learn to draw well, and fill up all my empty walls with her beautiful work!
