The Irene Art Show

irene has always enjoyed art. always. since we first gave her some pens and pencils when she was 1, i think? maybe younger? we did playdough before that. anyway, it's always a joy to me to watch her creating. i don't think i have any of her early painting scanned - she was a full body painter. Bob (Gramps) made an easel for her for her 2nd b-day and b/c we had a fabbo patio and covering in rohnert park, we were painting all year long. sometimes inside, mostly outside. sometimes at 7:00 am we'd be out there - or she'd be out there. creating her masterpieces. she likes to use the whole page. rhys, on the other hand, is a minimalist. he likes tactile things, but doesn't do it in quite the same way. i wish he'd enjoy painting etc more and really get into it, but it's just not his thing in quite the same way that it is for irene. he has fun with it, but is done quickly and wants to wash his hands, thank you very much.

anyway, yesterday, irene did an art lesson - similar to on PBS. please don't mind darth vader who was taking the video. a bit later, she did a lesson with rhys and they did dinosaurs.




i hope this works. i don't remember exactly how i did this the last time.

edited on saturday to say - i have no idea why it wasn't allowing comments. it will allow them now.
