Maria's Stuff

[Caramelfudge]

I found some of her drawings and since she never posted any drawings when she was alive.

I think this a version of someone Zindy has drawn before. She loved it so much she contacted it to the back of her school diary.

Here's another one of her drawings. Of Jennifer Lopez (or is is JLo nowdays?)

I didn't take the photo of it very well so it's blurred ...

An old drawing of her cousin, Bella.

Very nice drawings, she had real talent.

[Helena]

Very nice drawings, she had real talent.

Sorry, I don't find the right words. I also think she had talent!

[René]

Yeah Helena, I also can't find the right words. It is really hard. But in fact, Maria had talent.

[Zindy]

As you have already said, she had talent... I especially like the drawing of her cousin, there's something a little sad about her expression.

[Joe_Incognito]

Ana, I am so sorry for your loss, I only just now read of the terible news and my heart sank. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

I really like the drawing of het causin.. :roll:

[Caramelfudge]

Thank you every one for your kind comments. I'm sure she would be very proud. Her school is collecting all her drawings to hang on display in the Arts Foyer so I should be able to show you some more.
Thank you Joe_Incognito. The funeral was hard as was Christmas.

As promised some baby photos ....

Thank you all for being so kind. I realised the other day just how hard going through her stuf is but I've started this so I may as well finish it.

Maria's school is holding an exhibit of her artwork so I'll have more drawings to show you. For now, I have some of the photos she took. She really loved photography.

This is the Jacaranda tree out front. Not sure why she took a picture of it but she did.

A flower. She loved nature.

An unfinished drawing of Maria's she must have photgraphed and I just found in 'My Documents'. She's had other tries at this which are finished - I'll try to find some and put them on the computer. It's of her brother when he was a couple of months old:

Thank you for posting those nice pics and drawings. Maybe it's a good thing you've gone through her stuff, even though it was hard, because it brings back good memories and it's very nice of you to share that part of Maria with us. Thank you

[Caramelfudge]

Thank you luna.

I found quite alot of her drawings. Unfortunately, some of them are unfinished.

She also has a folder of all her reference photos. And these two I can't find drawings for so I guess these were going to be drawn next:

[Caramelfudge]

Well. Thank you everyone. I will take my leave now, I've burdened you for long enough. I'm glad Maria felt like she belonged here.

Goodbye,
Ana.

[brian]

Goodbye Ana, I can't thank you enough for comming here and sharing with us.

I wish you all the best.

[Bree]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm new here and I realise you probably won't get the chance to read this but I couldn't just not offer my sympathies.
All the best for you and your family, Ana.
