Grandchildren's art

I've spent what time I have had to paint this week experimenting with the block printing/painting techique as desccribed last week. Rather than post more of the same I am posting two paintings done by my grand children this week. I think painting is a wonderful way for children to express themselves. I look back to when I was at school and feel sad that art was regarded as something students did when they were not thought capable of doing more academic subjects. 

Dogger by Sophie Palmer (aged 9)

This is a lovely painting of her favourite toy/

Elephant (we decided) by  Hayden Palmer (aged nearly 2)
