[blockquote source=”Pablo Picasso”]”Every child is an artist. The problem is staying an artist when you grow up.” [/blockquote]-

Indeed, my darlings – how to preserve that spirit of innocence, when all our world seems crushing in.

To believe beyond all shadows of doubt, that this life – is indeed limitless.

When we are young, we paint the sky every brilliant color known to man – a hint of ‘Sunset’, a dapple of ‘Burnt Orange’, and every Blue from ‘Indigo’ to ‘Cerulean’. Never mind the matching of hues, what we *felt inside* became our universe.

That’s the very thing artist Pablo Picasso wished, that every child remain – in spirit – an indomitable force of artistry.

“Ideas are simply starting points.” he began. “I can rarely set them down as they come to my mind. As soon as I start to work, others well up in my pen. To know what you’re going to draw, you have to *begin* drawing. What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.”

My darlings, when we were much younger – we drew without the burden of reason. And, never knowing what these colors might reveal – until the last pop of ‘Razzmatazz’ completed our picture.

Every child is an artist, my dears – and the energy of this child artist is always within.

When we allow ourselves to….just begin.

I’m going out to pick up a box of Crayolas today. Now, who will be joining me today?

Let’s come back and post our drawings here 🙂

Much love, my dearest darlings ~ <3
