the building of a painting

August 9, 2011 by Nancy

I love the moment when a child sees the finished product they are to do and says “I can’t do that” and I have the opportunity to show them that they can.

It can take a long time
Not every minute of it is fun.
It starts with the horizon line

and the layering of colour between swims

and then so many dots you can go crazy

but not before the unexpected tall trees

 and then the  moment when they realize they can.

And all these little girls say “This canvas doesn’t seem as big as when it was blank” 
Well, no one understands that more than me.

    I am getting a lot of pressure from the “big kids” who want to come. I think I should do it!
