My kids have noticed that I like to color. I actually avoid art projects around the house at times, because I know that once I start I will be completely absorbed until I’m done. And I hate to leave an art project half-finished once I’ve begun! Attentiveness to art can also mean inattentiveness to my kids. Nevertheless, my kids love to sit elbow-to-elbow with me and color. Naomi begs me to join her whenever she is coloring with her markers or crayons. I finished these crayon flowers earlier this week. It was fun using all the colors in the box to create light and shadow and depth and dimension.
