Little artist

My mom and my daughter are a good team when it comes to making things. Often when I leave them for an hour or two, they delve into some art project which astounds me. My mom is an art teacher, (an amazing one), so I shouldn't be surprised, but still- I am delighted to witness my little girl take to each project with such focus and inspiration. She really looks and observes and admires art, and approaches her own art with similar respect and consideration. At the Gursky show at Gagosian the other day, she sat and watched a video about the intricate process of him creating one of his crazy composed images...all in German! There she was, with headphones next to strangers trying to understand what she was watching. Kind of hilarious. She then took in the show carefully, with wide eyes. That evening, she was sad to see me go out for the night. While I was gone, she and her Grandmother made a red-head and a dark haired little figurine-set out of cork, cloth and yarn..."mommy and me in bed". The next morning, the most adorable pillow I have ever seen. For someone who can't even sew a button, I treasure the genius of this pillow. I know all parents are proud of their little artists... they are all impressive. So I of course, want to share my pride about my little artist. I relish in watching her creative heart and mind at work. I am so curious where they will take her...
