Two little artists in residence

I had these two adorable, little artists visit me a week ago.
They shared their expertise on how to throw caution to the wind 
and just enjoy the process of making art without rules.


Maddy was diligent at loading her brush with paint 
and then splashing it about in the water dish. 
Lots of water ended up on her paper but not a lot of paint. 


Mikayla studiously worked away at her own masterpiece....


....until she was awestruck by Maddy's approach to art


At one point, Mikayla couldn't bear to watch a moment longer. (just kidding)
Maddy was very pleased with herself indeed.


OH, how I love having my beautiful granddaughters over for a visit!

Speaking of art, 
it appeared that someone had taken a paintbrush to the sky 
the other morning.

I went to Reece's place on the weekend
to help hang the multi-canvas painting I did for him.


I have been busy painting and also sketching 
so lots to share later....

  6. The clouds do look sketchy-painted. I love-love-love how the bonsai tree panels turned out!! But most of all I was bowled over by how big those grand-girls are already--OMG! So sweet I could just eat them up! And playing with paints already...of course. ;)
