Little Picasso

So the easel that T so thoughtfully and painstakingly created for Christmas has been sitting in the garage gathering dust since...well, since we came home from Christmas. Oops. :{ I have thought about getting it out several times but I was just not looking forward to the mess. Alas, one of my friends inspired me to get it out and allow K to get in touch with her inner Picasso. She was so excited.

Of course, being the perfectionist that she is, she started out with four colors. Red, yellow, blue, and green. Why, you ask? Because she had four paintbrushes, in...you guessed it, red, yellow, blue and green.

She delicately applied each brush stroke with precision.

A masterpiece in the making.

But then, the child in her started to come out and she got CRAZY. She put the red paintbrush in the yellow paint, the yellow paintbrush in the red paint, the blue...you get the idea. Sheer madness!

Madness which apparently unlocked the true artist within...

Then we got really crazy with it and got out the rest of the colors. She painted three pictures in about 30 minutes, and yes, it took me about that long to clean up the mess left behind.

But you just can't put a price on artistic expression!

  3. FUN! Ali just asked me the other day when we could finger paint again... not sure how I can pull that off (especially the cleanup) while holding a newborn, though...
