staying an artist

Her big brother recently taught her how to draw a butterfly. I now find butterflies all over our home. Her butterflies are pretty cute, but seeing her pride and excitement in the process is even better.

I love how proud she is of her creations. She doesn’t pick them apart or critique her work. She simply delights that she drew a beautiful butterfly. She relishes the process and the outcome. It challenges me. She challenges me to be an artist that delights not just in the process, but in the creations too.

“Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.” ~ Pablo Picasso
