Now that I am over much of my computer issues and can focus on art I came across a couple of photos (hidden on my PC) that I had forgotten about. Over the last ten years or more I’ve had an opportunity to be taught creativity by pre-school young people. When I am around a bunch of kids, I learn all over again that art like life is to serious to take seriously. There is so much joy in watching kids paint flying dogs for Valentine’s Day or green hearts for Mother’s Day
When ever I get an invitation to work with young people, I say sure, why not, I’ll be there. Then I experience an unimaginable fear as if I were meeting the Queen and I wonder why I did I say yes. The answers comes within two seconds after meeting the kids.
Dear Bob I have a special affinity for you… you are so my kind of people. Great job darling!
Bob,
I entirely agree; the connection can be beautiful. Years ago, I had a very special experience.

Thank you for the link.
That’s great how you say you are taught creativity. The only line I remember from those parenting books I read back then is “My children are my Zen masters.” So much you can learn if you are ready to.
Birgit,
I went off with my daughter to the Portland Art Museum on Wednesday and we saw an exhibit of photographs by Elliot Erwitt, a Magnum photographer. Some of the wittiest photos played with reversals of nude scenes, including one I put on our blog
