Salem the Artist

Now that things have settled back into a bit of normalcy, we are finally getting the chance to play with all the new toys.  Salem was in an artsy mood first thing and wanted to paint and glue stuff.  I cleared off the kitchen table and mentally prepared myself for disaster.  Much to my surprise, Salem was a wonderful artist! He followed my directions and his first project was a mixed media piece.  He cut small pieces of paper and then sporadically glued them to a piece of card stock.
 

 

For his next masterpiece, he opted for the simple yet understated watercolors.  Soon, a meddled explosion of shapes and colors appeared on his paper.  All of which he explained thoroughly as he painted, "Mom"- scribble, scribble.  'Dad'- new color, more circles.  'Delilah/Sam'- scribble.  'Pipey"- Lots of paint and swirls and scribbles.  One on top of the other.  An indecipherable piece to the naked eye and non-observer, but a work of art to me.
