Child drawings: Elaborate plots.

Mermaid by a seahorse near an underwater city.  Also, a snowman on his side.

People taking a walk near a large (human-inhabitable) beaver's dam.

The princess and the frog, night and day.  That's not blood on her shirt.

Child drawings: Religion

Lana has been jumping into this Judeo-Christian legacy with both feet.  Some of her religious development overflows into her art:

Moses leading the Israelites through the Red Sea on dry ground with the water standing tall beside (including fish and a whale).

Jesus (glowing), a cross and an empty tomb.

When I asked her about this creepy crucifixion, she said it was just a mistake.  The holes in the hands are actually just the palms of the hands.  She forgot to draw fingers.  It's not Jesus or Spartacus; it's Lana.  Should've known from the smile and nervous eyes.
