Middle of the week Pic-me up

Since I can remember I've been very artistic. My family was constantly encouraging me to try different art mediums and this is something I feel strongly about as a parent. I know children are curious and creative beings and should be given the tools to help there imagination grow. Some of my fondest moments are of me and my grandfather sitting down with a coloring book and doodling around the image instead. I've always used art as an outlet in my life and Im happy my parents helped fuel my spark. Many of my memories revolve around art, from the summer my father built me a playhouse in the back yard which I was encouraged to paint to the paintings I did in first grade that remained on the the back of our front door until I was in middle school.

Im the parent who commends a childs talent of the crayon sketch that looks like an elephant on the kitchen wall. Or whose impressed with the line work of the chalk drawing on the bedroom carpet. Generally though I try to encourage my little picasso's to keep the art off the things that are in my lease. I thought I would share some images of some of my most cherished creations my three year old son has presented me. check this talent out..
