11 Jul The Best Way to Have a Birthday
My little ‘painting performance’ was a hit. My 3-year old and 4-year old grand nieces called out a color for me to paint on the blank canvas. But they had to close their eyes and imagine a color before calling the color out to me. Hannah had to be reminded to open her eyes. They even got detailed. Instead of ‘yellow’ it became ‘yellow-orange,” blue-green,” etc. Now I have to give them credit when the painting is done 2 months later. This was a great way for me to avoid having to face a blank canvas! The silence and solitude in the house and barn vibrate with their presence, rolling into night and night sounds, 4th July, 2024
