I am not an artist. The only subjects I can draw are Chihuahuas (I’ve had them all my life) and John Lennon (I am a Beatles fanatic).
I didn’t really appreciate art until about 15 years ago when a good friend of mine, an artist, introduced me to art shows and taught me a true appreciation for original art. Since then, I’ve purchased pieces that I treasure.
Now that I love art, I’m sharing my passion with my granddaughters. Children are born artists. Their creativity is endless. Nothing makes them happier than to give them paper, crayons, markers, paint brushes and paint.
Honestly, I think it’s one of the reasons I love preschool. Most every day, my 5-year-old brings her mother the absolute coolest art projects she makes at school. Each one is amazing.
The girls have access to art materials at any time in their home, my home and my mother’s home. So whenever the mood hits them to create a piece of art, they do it.
