I was well aware that my daughter was looking forward to our girl's night together so I asked her to tell me what she wanted to do for our outing. She said, "I want to paint with you!"
I said, "are you sure... because we could do lots of things, we could do each other's hair or paint nails, go for a bike ride or watch a movie?"
"Nope, I just want to paint."
"Ok," I consented.
So I got out some paper and paint and she sat next to me working on her picture as I worked on mine. After she finished a few masterpieces she curled up on the couch continuing to show a great deal of interest in my work. I asked her if she was bored.
"Not at all!" was her response. "I could watch you do this forever."
And well, maybe it wasn't forever... but she did stay up and watch until almost midnight.
Here she wanted to take a picture of me with my face in it before it was done. It's kind-of a strange angle because cardboard is lying flat on my floor.
This is the final product. Can you see it? I based it off a Title of Liberty painting from one of my favorite Christian artists, Walter Rane.
