  9. Katie Darling:
    Everyone else said everything I want to say: talented, amazing, astonishing…..really words can’t fully express our admirations for you. I know your daddy said: you are amazing, but please don’t be an artist. I don’t know how this can be avoided, because you are already an artist! A great one and an amazing one!!! It doesn’t matter what you do later in life, your artistic skill and talent will only make you a very unique one and be ahead of a lot of people. Treasure the natural born talent you have and enjoy being who you are!!!
    Lots of love and happy 15th Birthday!
    Gigi and Audrey

    Katie,
    These drawings are so very very good – I know your earlier work, and have always admired it. Now that you’re in a very good art program doing more classical drawing, you excel – you constantly amaze me.
    I’m so glad your mom put them up so that we could see them.
    Happy Birthday, with a lot of love,
    Grandma
