I can’t create random. As much as I try to make arbitrary, organic, unplanned…my paintbrush, pastel, or pencil still has purpose. My drawings feel charted and specific. But you look at Tyler’s or Sydney’s art and their visual stories are so…random. They are wonderful creations that feel “in the moment”, fluid, dynamic, and spontaneous.

Isn’t it interesting that adults who have lost so much of that ability to let go, wander, dabble, and meander try so hard to reclaim these qualities. Isn’t it strange that from an adult perspective all of those words mean “do-nothing”, but from a toddler’s perspective, to waffle, wallow, and bask, are words of profound productivity.

These watercolor pictures are pen drawn by me, and mostly watercolor painted by Tyler (I am pretty sure you can tell which watercolor painting I did.) Yes, the second is my attempt at a car…even with the dinosaurs you didn’t think we could get too far from wheels did you?
