My Monet

We’ve brought most of our activities indoors.  Fall has arrived.  Four months ago P painted for the very first time.  She wasn’t that interested at first.  Our last trip to LACMA stirred something in her.  It was that or the new Miffy book we’ve been reading.  Either way, she’s now very much into painting.


I found the perfect place for P to paint in our house; right on the our sliding glass door.   I tape up velum or card stock paper to the glass and she paints away.  It’s easy to clean up stray paint off the glass so I don’t need to worry about her staying perfectly on her “canvas”.  I also love this spot because the light is so beautiful.  When she paints on velum it looks like a stained glass.
