Do you remember the days of free painting you did as a child? This is my son having so much fun! We have been reading The Color Kittens by Margaret Wise Brown. My kids just love it. In case you don't know it the color kittens (Brush and Hush) mix all the colors in the world and have wonderful dreams in color. My son loves to mix colors and goes about it with such excitement. "Mom, what color will it make if I mix this one with this one?". I think it is so great to see him in action. He got a bit upset once the paper was thoroughly soaked and ripped. I told him I love it and I think it looks pretty cool with the rip in it and I will add it to the memory box.He totally inspires me to be more free. To just try things. I love that about kids. They are pretty fearless sometimes!

I know. I totally wish I had the freedom of mind that my kids do. What happens to us that makes it so hard for adults to create with abandon? I (we?) have alot to learn from little artists.
Oh, I remember The Color Kittens from when I was little! I'd forgotten about them until now! Yes, isn't it inspiring to be around kids!
Kids are amazing how they just dive in and have a go --- it takes me ages to get started on anything.
I totally agree that kids are very inspirational and amazing! I see that your little one has the same amazing talent as you are with paint and colors! Have a lovely merry happy week and love to yoU!
Hi Dana, I also love the way your son is so free with the paint! Children's art is so pure. We can learn so much from their enthusiasm!
I love it when the kids get messy creating. It is very freeing to watch.
Have you seen Carla Sonheim's on-line class: The art of Silliness. I was thinking about doing it with my kids. You should check it out.
