Mom's Works - Coloring

Some times, I am surprised to know how little I know about my mother.
When I took her to Hawaii many many years ago, we had a wonderful room on a higher level at the Hilton, in Waikiki. I stood on the veranda and asked her to come out. She would not come out. She was afraid of the height. I did not know my mother had an acrophobia.
Now, my new surprise about my mother is her artistic talent. These melons and sunflowers were colored by my mother at her Day Care Center. Her work is so detailed that people are impressed very much by her work.

時々、自分の母の知らない一面を知り驚かされることがある。何年も前、ハワイに一緒に行った際、ワイキキのヒルトンホテルに泊まった。高層階で眺めの良い部屋だったので、ベランダに母も出てくるように誘った。母はベランダには出てこなかった。その時初めて母が高所恐怖症であることを知った。
そして、今回も新しい発見があった。母のぬり絵の細かさ上手さににデーケアーセンターの人たちは驚かされている。写真のメロンとひまわりは彼女がぬったぬり絵だそうだ。母に美的センスがあるなんて知らなかった。

This is the works you talked me before, isn't it?
Hmmm... what an artist!
Who drew the base lines?
Why don't you get her to draw more even at home?
Keitanman, my son likes to draw with lots of pens. He may be a kind of an artist also...

Filled in poor English for YourD.

Anyhow,
What an artist she is!!
You should get her to draw more at home also. May be with my son??? He also likes to draw with lots of crayons at a time.
