The Budding Artist.

When my daughter Muireann was born we had painted and drawn words on doors and walls to encourage early literacy. This succeeded so well that she could read very well when she was 3. She also liked to draw images on her bedroom wall and this is a sample.

Frank, this is great...what do you mean by left brainer?

Artist Reply: Ana, you should look that up on google as it would take me to long to write, being a slow typist.

Frank, she is just too cute!!:)) She made her very own canvas out of her bedroom wall. Very innovative, I think.

Frank Maguire
Artist Reply: Actually Carliss, I did some of that to encourage her. I'm thinking that we did damage by making her literate so early, now she is very much a left brainer and I have to live with the consequences of that. I now believe that most children exist more in there right Brains and enjoy what has been called, their dream time. We took that from her and I regret that even though our intentions were good. The road to hell is paved blah blah..... Thanks for looking.

THERE YOU GO, what a precious picture of the past, dear Frank! I really hope Muireann will come around getting some insight by appreciating what you did for her... The love you feel for her is endless. --You found the love of your life with your present wife, you got some wonderful step-daughters who adore you...(and I start loving you more and more too!!!!) YOU'RE JUST A GREAT PERSON, lieve Frank! With heart, OLGA

Artist Reply: Really Olga, I wont be able to wear my cap this week at all, at all. And how do you know that I'm not a smooth-writing ogre behind it all? But, my wife just kissed me in passing, so maybe I aint so bad. To be serious, I think a lot of the problem lies with a lack of emotional intelligence. One can have a giant IQ for all subjects that earn money but be stupid about the needs of one's "loved ones." I think emotional IQ leaks it's way into the brain/heart during the course of one's life ifit hasn't occurred naturally. I cant help loving lots of people but I dont go around shouting about it.People would avoid me. Thanks again for the love shot Olga.
