Toddler Art

Toddler Art I

A year ago, a precious little baby came into this world, marking the start of a new generation in our family.   A one-of-a-kind work of art was begun for this baby-to-be.  We didn't know if it would be a girl or a boy at the time so bright colors and vivid value contrasts (infants like that) were used to make a wall hanging a baby might like.   I thought back to when I was a young mother pacing gently around the house with a baby on my shoulder.  When it was time to wind down at the end of the day I would turn them so that they faced a window or a picture.   Where's the ball?   Where's the dog?  Where's the tree?   See the doggy?   Those memories spawned the first Toddler Art painting.   Brianna is turning one, so happy birthday pretty girl!

Toddler Art II

Two months ago, a second precious little baby of this next generation came into this world.   When I say little, I mean little - too many weeks early.   Our family has held a collective breath, put faith in a fantastic medical staff, devoted parents and God, saying countless prayers with a focus on this amazing little miracle baby.  To everyone's relief and with much joy, we learned that tiny Will has achieved the milestones necessary to go home with Mom and Dad.   The original painting is en route, special delivery, and here is a photo of it,  the second Toddler Art painting - dedicated to another precious baby, William!
