Frances Brundage

Frances Brundage was a lady who lived a long time ago and was very good at drawing pictures. She was born in 1854 and grew up in a time when there were not many things to do for fun like we have today. People would read books, tell stories or draw pictures.

Frances loved to draw from a very young age and would often sit for hours with a pencil and paper, creating beautiful pictures of people, animals, and flowers. She was very talented and everyone who saw her work would say how wonderful it was.

When Frances was a bit older, she went to art school to learn how to be even better at drawing. She studied very hard and practiced a lot until she was a very skilled artist.

Frances' pictures were so good that people started to ask her to draw pictures for their books and magazines. They loved the way she drew children and made them look very sweet and innocent. Frances' artwork became very popular and she became famous for her drawings all over the world.

Even though Frances Brundage lived a long time ago, her art is still admired and appreciated today.
