This Moment: First Painting

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember: inspired by Soule Mama.




...and this is why we buy food-based paint :)

    I love the way they start out all demure with the magical experience of making marks with the brush and inevitably end up slathering themselves in paint.

    My older two used to get themseoves completely naked and cover themselves from head to toe with paint, make-up ,mud.... whatever they could lay their mucky little hands on. It is an essential part of growing up!

    I completely agree! You were the first to encourage me to roll with solid foods as an artistic experience, too, and that was excellent advice ;)

    I know! For a moment I actually believed that she would be a tidy painter, but the reality was much more fun.
