You ARE an Artist!
I am a firm believer that each of us can paint; especially children, who possess an innate ability to create art. This tutorial is such a fun way to paint!

A few leaves are already starting to turn here in the south and that means it’s time to turn our attention to fall art!

Our best because we headed to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park all together for a fall leaf walk. (Plus we like the BBC children’s show Charlie & Lola) 🙂 We drove the mountain
I came across this fun leaf art the children created with Nana a few years back. It’s time to do it again!
