Fun with Dad

AC loves to draw with markers on her easel. The drawings evolve over time so that there are many layers of marks, colors, images and symbols. Then we wash everything off and start over. She usually begins a drawing by standing at the easel stepping from foot to foot saying "Please a-Mama " or Please a-Dada" over and over until we take the caps off of the markers and sit down to draw. She hands Dad a marker and says "Dada too!" ...and then we draw.AC and Dada have a special language involving lots of silly faces.
Here's AC's first collaborative watercolor painting. Her main contribution is the group of black marks on the far right. She painted these designs on the easel, not on the paper. I thought it was interesting how they sort of mirror the blue designs directly next to them.
As soon as she noticed me with the camera, she charged after me!

We can see from the painting that Alice is learning to be an artist and a Democrat. We noticed the Obama lettering on the painting.

Wow, here marks are sooo similar to the blue, a budding young artist!

Entrap Vapor. Could that be an anagram for ..., I can't guess.
