Brianna, A Work In Progress

Brianna likes to do what mommy does. Here she's doing a little "dry" painting. If only we could know for sure what she thinks she's doing. When I watch Brianna painting, it puts me in mind of something Henri Matisse once said, "I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it."

Pansies is now a finished work, and is featured on my Art Blog.

Children and their art is the focus of Shelly Gifford Kids.
