"a portrait of my children's artwork, once a week, every week, in 2013."

this week, a glimpse into their process of making art. the girls love to create. paint, draw, glue, stack, staple, construct, they do it. they do it together and they do it alone. every week i have one on one time with each girl and we often find ourselves painting side by side. i relish the time because we are both involved in something we love and we are doing it separate but together. watching their process and seeing them quietly concentrate and engage in what they are doing is pretty amazing. you can see it in these pictures and feel it too.

s. in the studio.
o. en plein air.

    What beautiful images. I really like the idea of charting your children's artworks in this project. It will be a fascinating insight into their development and creativity. Glad I found you via Jodi's project.

      I agree Suzie. I think it is going to be interesting to look back and see how they have developed and feel the change in them and their work. They are so free right now, I wish i could keep them at this stage forever.

      Thanks for stopping by Jennifer. I see that your little one loves painting too. It does give them such pride to create a piece of art and then see it displayed in their home.

    I love that your series is for your children's artwork. I think that is such a great idea. I love when someone puts a little spin on the series - it makes it very unique and makes me want to come back week after week to check out the portraits. These photos have such beautiful light.

    xo!
