Artist at Work

My first painting experience! I've been waiting and waiting to try the paints out that go with the new art easel. Mom has a sheet out in the middle of our family room and the easel is on top. So I've been playing with chalk, drawing with crayons, and using dry erase markers because the paint was just too messy. But she's finally ready and here comes the paint!

My favorite color is blue and that's all I wanted to paint with. I'm into circles, eyes, and just drawing lines. I'm happy with my faces and the lines make up my maps. I take the maps with us in the car on our trips and am learning my directions really well. I'm not real fond of having to wear a smock but this is a must with the poster paints.

Overall, mom has been a good sport with all of the creativeness I'm expressing. She's just hoping that I continue to follow directions and all of my artwork stays on the easel and paper.
