Something NEW for me

When I do something creative, I have a plan.  Well, at least, a good idea what I'm going to do.  For Christmas I gave my granddaughter a set of acrylic paints.  Of course, she wanted to try them out immediately -- with Grammie.  To my studio -- the little yard sale child's table -- we go.  I grabbed a little 5 x 5 canvas that I had previously prepped with some left over aqua paint.  Didn't want to use up her new canvases.  As she was putting paints on her palette to use, I used them too.  No color choice for me, just what she was using.  No idea.  No theme.  No plan.  Just putting paint on the canvas and totally enjoying being with her.  Today, I added some words.


We were having so much fun that soon I lost my spot at the table to others wanting to join in the creating.  Put the canvases away, and handed out ATC's along with watercolor pencils.  Everyone wants to create -- I think it's in our nature.

I believe that we are all born creative it just gets squelched out of us as we get older.
I love how your little painting came out.
Your granddaughter is sure to remember the special times creating with you-and your kids for that matter!

That is such a magical way to spend Christmas! I love it when I can set aside "reality" and just let the paints take me away - when I am just doing without any "thinking". I think your granddaughter picked some awesome colors too!!

What a perfect moment! I absolutely LOVE doing art with my kids, it can be so inspiring. MyBoy has a certain job in my shop with the torch that he just loves.

Thanks for the visit! happy new year!
