Painting with my Love


Here he is...my favorite painter!


I love it when watercolor flows into itself


Collaborative painting (number 1)


Isaac loves to paint so much that sometimes he says "paint" instead of my name when he first sees me.


Collaborative Fun#2---This may be my favorite

Yes, we are using prang...not tube paints. However, Chuck Close didn't have his first set of tube paints until 5...so I'm giving Isaac a little time to warm up.

More fun (he was so excited to paint...he blended all the colors together in the paint box because he didn't have paper yet)


Love him

I enjoy how the paint mixed into itself in these last two paintings.



I went home for a day this weekend and spent some much needed time with my family. These photos are of a painting session, I had with my nephew, Isaac. Ever since he started painting in August, he's been obsessed. Sometimes, I wonder if he is so excited to see me because he knows that I hold the brushes. Anyway, I feel like these are pretty good for a 2 1/2 year old...watch out world.
