Summer Water Colors
One of the things that I love to do is to keep a set of paper, easel, and paints in the back of my truck so that when we are about at the local park and down at the beach the kids can spontaneously paint water colors. This summer, Emily and I had the kids spend one afternoon making that beautiful impressionistic art that two and three year olds are so natural at. They really SEE the things that they paint. "Yes, daddy, that is a tree", Hannah would proclaim without even a hit of "Hay, dad, can't you see it?" The natural expression and confidence of a child is remarkable and a great reminder of how we, as adults, need to be more often.
