I M Perfect lady

While watching my 3 year old granddaughter pick out fabrics, squealing with delight, when a certain one excited her, I realized that this is art. The way colors, designs, and how they go together, make you feel.

It is about the feeling.  Or at least this is how I do it. What ever excites me is what I play with.

She is funny, being so young and knowing what she loves. My daughter and I would try and move her in a direction of fabrics, that may co-exist together in harmony and she refuses to be led.  She knows what she feels and will not be swayed differently.

I love her knowing what she loves!

And, she has to be the one to place her art down. We can't 'suggest' a better placement, she likes how it looks to her.  Our opinions just simply do not matter to her. It is her Art.

What she has shown me, is what I have suspected, that to be a true artist is to find the most pleasure in the creative part. 

Doing art is a feeling.

It is to dance with the unknown.

To be surprised in what colors or designs make you feel alive.

She and I both love what we love and express it loudly!

And, it matters not if they are 'supposed' to go together or not – it works for us, it makes us come alive.

Her squeals and excitement are so self-empowering. 

I love her absolute knowing. 

Nothing can change how she feels.

What a great inner sense of Self she has at 3.

Perhaps we all did.

Until, we start to focus more on the outside than the inside.

I am hopeful that if she continues with Art, she will build a center core that the outside will have a hard time bending.

I can see why Artists are feared, for they typically can't be led. They have a strong sense of self and are unapologetic.

We know our selves better by doing Art.

This just be a 3 year old phase she is going through – however, we have a few fun pieces to remember her little hands creating excitement with Art!

Her eyes sees magic in her art!
