Open thread - Saturday
wayofpeace sent in this painting by his granddaughter:
My grandkid was 7 when she painted this piece.
What is interesting is that she is also a wiz in math and LOVES science. She also is a dancer and yet plays soccer; she often scores at least once per game.
As to this painting: it's intriguing that the background is divided into hearts and frowns on either side of the flowers. Brings to mind this verse by HAFIZ:
Children can easily open the drawer
That lets the spirit rise up and wear
Its favorite costume of
Mirth and laughter.
Thank you, wayofpeace. Child art reminds me of a famous quote by Picasso:
“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child”
