Emery Clay 'O' Painting

I knew I'd find this pic sooner or later--twas on my phone. I believe Emery was about 26-28 months.  Intense concentration and the color mixing of blues/greens/purples with a splotch of red thrown in, Em concentrated on creating quarter-sized and larger circles, some with smiles and eyes, and other random (carefully placed) shapes on a 12 x 18 page, 1/2 of which is framed here:

Sunrise Shell Necklaces of Hawaii

Does beading and working with shells count as 'art'?! Look at these wonderful sunrise and moonrise shells... or go to http://sunrisekauai.blogspot.com/

5 Minute Face

This was created to use up some extra paint--so it wouldn't go to waste, and because I had just looked up Modigliani! (And to show kids that faces can be painted with ANY color--not just tan.)

Em and the Super Tang

I guess I should of put this on the graphics blog, but I like it's grungy, artsy elements. The snake cactus/lava rock wall is south of Old Koloa town, near Nate and Bail's place...the tree in the background is a couple blocks east growing lonely in a field of nothing...
