"an artist is an explorer."
- HENRY MATISSE
I love watching my kids create their own art. Learning how to wield a paint brush, watching them try to re-create what they see, seeing how they can ignore all lines and patterns and do whatever their hands and eyes and coordination desire. I really believe art is an important stimulation in brain development, and I had so much fun ignoring my ever loyal to-do list to just explore with all sorts of colors on this Winter afternoon.
I'm so happy to see both of them exploring with paint. Great-grandpa Teason would be incredibly proud of them!
