The Piano Player

This scanned image doesn't do it justice, but our budding artist, Katie, sketched an amazing piece of art during church last week.  We went to early mass, and as always, we sat next to the choir.  Katie seemed particularly interested in the piano player that morning.  We thought maybe because she has recently been sitting downstairs and tinkling the piano at home that she was enjoying watching the piano player play.  But what she was really doing was sketching the pianist.  She had opened her little art pad, pulled out her colors, and sketched the lady in motion as she was playing.  Katie even went into detail with the green shirt that the lady was wearing.  The piano player's adult daughter happened to be sitting behind us and was paying more attention to Katie's artwork than we were.  After mass, she pointed it out to us and then called her mother over to see it.  After seeing it, the pianist was so excited she ran to show it to her choir mates, and then asked Katie if she could have copy of it to hang up at home.  So, here it is, Katie's first piece of almost commissioned art for a customer..."The Piano Player".
