Lilia the artist

When Lilia came home from school yesterday, she asked to paint. I pulled out the new poster paints and set the paper up on her easel, and she painted whatever she wanted. She did flowers, an orange, railroad tracks, and a penguin. I took pictures of the flowers and the penguin. I think the penguin is about as good as something I could do now. Or even better. How did this happen so quickly? At Christmas, I was still drawing little circles for faces and having her draw in the features. But now… just look. Are these normal for a four-year old?
