My Painting of GrandmaThis morning, Grandma came to my house. I painted a picture of her.

I got my brush and paints ready. Then I put paper on my easel.

Grandma sat in front of me.

First, I put pink paint on my brush. I painted Grandma’s head and neck, and her nose and ears.

Then, I painted her short, brown hair. I dipped my brush in the brown paint again, and I painted Grandma’s eyes.

Grandma smiled, so I painted her with a big, red smile.

Grandma was wearing tiny, gold earrings. I painted two small dots of yellow paint for her earrings.
