Miniature Monets

In the winter, we have to come up with lots of fun indoor activities because sometimes it's just too darn cold to brave our mountain.  Painting is one of the boys' favorite pastimes.  Liam has mostly gotten over his OCD and now fully enjoys getting his hands dirty.  Aiden was tentative at first until he saw Mamma do it, and then he dove right in.  


Aiden does not like to be disturbed during his creative process.  At this particular moment, Aiden felt threatened by Liam's presence...


So he spotted a good target…and...


Bam!  Red handprint on Liam's new shirt.  It will never be the same.  Apparently, red "washable" finger paint is not so washable.  


I'm innocent!  And I'm an artist, so don't mess with me.  











More, please!  


Enter Frankenstein.  








Love this cherubic face.  



Liam's favorite things to paint right now are roller-coasters and tornadoes.  Both involve a big blob with lots of swirls.  I convinced him to do a family portrait just before he embarked on this masterpiece.  






Deep concentration...
