My grandson, two-years-old this year, helps me out a lot…a lot…a lot. He is such a good little helper. There are several “marks” on some of my paintings that he made. I just incorporate them into my mark making. Some I allowed and aided. Some were complete surprises. Like the big oil paint red blob in the hair of one of my girls. Yikes! Well, apparently, I will paint over it and create a flower or something, or just leave it if I can incorporate it. For Christmas he got his own easel and brushes (grammy keeps the paint separate for obvious reasons). He has created several little master pieces, but his favorite thing to do is help grammy with her paintings. It is truly a family affair.
