The assignment: use watercolor crayons to paint a picture that tells a story. She agonized over this. It is very difficult for her not to draw the cutesy house on the hill with curly smoke coming from the chimney (or a cat). She says this is called "The Sea". When I asked her why she chose for the starfish to be so large and prominent on the page she said it was because it was her favorite sea creature. I believe it is the mermaids birthday. The fish swim around her. There are seashells in the sand. And swimming off the page is the rear flippers of a walrus.
