Ah Ma Petite Artiste (hmmm...is my French O.K.?). G's latest works have been really wonderful!!
As an artist I am so unbelievably proud and astonished at what she does. These two especially grabbed my attention because they are so colorful. Often she grabs one color and just uses it and when she changes colors she changes pages. But that all seems to have changed with these two drawings. It's also unbelievable for me as a professional artists to look at my child's work and learn and admire. It's funny because as I teach her, she reteaches me!! I watch her as she naturally works her way around the page just intuitively balancing and composing. It reminds me to allow myself to be more free and spontaneous. To let things happen.
I have also explained to her what a work in progress is and now the drawing directly above is still on her easel and she is adding to it. I told her to let me know when she thinks it's finished and I will put new paper up for her. So..stay tuned for the finished product! Hmmm..maybe we'll frame this one!!
