“Can I paint?” my youngest child asked. I pulled out the palette, placed the paper in front of him. The rest of the children joined in too. When he finished he said his painting was called ‘Tornado in Space.’ You can tell by looking at it the fun he had making swirls in different colors. We should all paint just for the sheer joy of it now and then. What joy, what freedom it brings! I’ve shared inspiration art quotes in hopes you’ll pull out the brushes, the pastels, the palette of colors too.
“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” ~Vincent Van Gogh

(By the way, the Doctor Who episode with Van Gogh is amazing!)
