Photo Hunt Saturday - Art


This week's photo hunt theme is art. Art is a stimulation of the senses. It is unbounded creativity released by an individual for others to experience. There are no boundaries in art.


The picture's that follow are some watercolor art, painted by Einey, Meenie and Moe this evening. As a treat, and because they love all things artsy, I allowed them to paint on the deck after dinner tonight. Unfortunately, we left them out on the deck to dry and got hit with a sudden downpour. By the time I made it outsdie, the paint had all been washed off.


And while I can appriciate art, I am not artist. In fact, you probably don't want to be anywhere near me when I am wielding a paintbrush. Husband on the other hand can usually be found, paintbrush in hand. If you want to view his gallery of work, click here. He has made quite a name for himself painting these figures. In addition, he has designed and drew the program for our daughter's dance studio, gives the girls cool tattoos, and drawn numerous pictures for the kids. I am trying to get him to illustrate a children' s book, but I would guess I would need to find an author first :P


Now if you excuse me, I need to go design/paint a banner for the Kinderbration. This I think I can handle...

That looks so much fun. It's nice to see kids expressing themselves through art. I also like painting with my three yr old son. Thanks for visiting me earlier.

I used to love watercolors when I was a kid - I wish some of that inspiration had carried over to adulthood...

So the kids come after their dad... For my kids it's after my grand mom - the talent has skipped two generations!
Thanks for stopping by :)

I like the top shot with the finger in the paint, and the brush not being used and (presumably) in the mouth. Perfect!
