Painting
Lucy is fond of drawing and coloring, often with crayons, especially with pens (when she can grab them), and naturally on non-approved surfaces (i.e. chairs, tables, walls…)
Now that she is out of the ‘put everything in your mouth’ stage, we figured she was ready to try other media. So this week we got her some non-toxic (and washable) paints and newspapered the room, and let her at it!
Here are some examples of Lucy’s first stab at painting. She LOVED it. She is asking even now (in her sleep!) to paint. I think we may move on to watercolors next, and after that, maybe making some egg-carton caterpillars with auntie…the sky’s the limit.
p.s. the artist is quoted as saying that most of these paintings are of ‘Kipper‘ or his nose or ears.
Well it’s natural she’d have an artistic bent considering her family on both sides! Looking forward to painting with her! I just got a plastic tablecloth and will get some kid paints for when she’s up here.
