Colouring
As a mother I scored mommy points by simply printing out a colouring page featuring Elsa. Of course this one is being made for Daughter’s best friend. And I was allowed to help with the most difficult bits.
After Christmas
After the tree left the living room Daughter decided to look forward to Easter. I suspect she’s mostly looking forward to another chocolate overdose in the form of eggs.
Colour study (359)
Daughter moved on to the next level of learning how to paint: mixing paint. She also mixed materials.
Art (357)
I love the kind of abstract art Daughter creates at the moment. I was allowed to contribute a tiny bit: the shape of the heart.
Colours (344)
Many years ago I went to a dance therapist, to help me perform better when singing. One of her assignments was to paint the walls with my hands in as many bright colours as I wanted. Imaginary paint of course. This short video, Chromascope, reminded me of that.
When I saw the paintings Daughter made today and yesterday, I witnessed her joy of simply putting colours to paper. Both the video and Daughter’s art remind me to paint the walls in my home more often.
Steamer (340)
It’s December fifth. ‘Pakjesavond’, the night (late afternoon) when Sinterklaas and Piet will deliver the gifts. Tomorrow Sinterklaas will go back to Spain (where he lives) on his steam boat. This is Daughter’s interpretation of Sinterklaas’ boat. I wish I had a boat as cheerful as this one.
