Fine Arts Friday: Mary Kate's Creations

What I love about doing art with the kids is that they will stay quietly content and productively occupied for hours. I no longer fret about getting the paints out anymore. They're old enough to know where everything is and how to set it up. These days, instead of having to give the kids ideas and directing them how to start a particular project, they just take off with their own ideas and later present me with things like this.Toucan created after reading through the book Henri Matisse: Drawing with Scissors.

A watercolor piece she called, Lady from India.

As you can see, Mary Kate prefers using bold colors to make a statement. Her artwork makes me smile!
