Unexpected adventure today—a departure from the neurographic series I've been painting for several weeks. Thank you, Amanda Evanston! She offered a free sample class for kids online. I forwarded the info to granddaughter Emmy.
Yes. yes. yes. I would definitely like to do that!
Me, too!
So we each called on our inner Claude Monet and painted us some water lilies, I tell you what!
The class was short and high speed, 78 rpm to my 33 ⅓—I opted to watch and listen while it was live. Once the class ended, I turned myself loose to PLAY.
So. Much. Fun.
Painted up a green chaos layer. Let it dry.
Used tape to mask off some would-be lily pads, painted up a blue chaos layer on top of the green. Pulled off the tape.
work in progress … will return to this tomorrow
Amanda has a gift for tapping the child in me for sure; little Dotty was giddy with delight with paper, paint, brush, and an 'unfussy' role model leading the way.

Isn't great to create with a child! They really know the game PLAY!
I'm ever grateful when my inner child gets awakened, and the act of painting is joyous and satisfying when that child is awake! I notice, too, that I find tremendous joy and satisfaction when the child and the adult who has significant lived experience collaborate.
So glad the two of you had fun. Chaos, Haha. They look restful to me. Like looking up at the clouds and noticing ow they change. Have fun Dotty! :)
Thanks, Sheila. The painting thus far = relaxing and joyful! Off on vacation now so not sure when I'll return to this start.
