Concept Journal Entry #3 "Play time"

Pictures speak louder than words, so this photo collage should say it all, but I'll go on anyway...
 These are the days of legos, wagons, bouncy balls, baby dolls, and crayons. After all the fun, what's left behind is one big, unorganized mess made by one very busy toddler. She is so full of energy and her enthusiasm is contagious.  The love and joy I have in my heart because of her makes me over flow with inspiration to translate that feeling into paint. My work has become much looser and more zealous with energetic brush strokes and mark making. Also, my color palette develops from the juvenile, girlish colors that have taken over in our house. More (many more) paintings to come....
