CAROLINE'S ABANDON post by Cecelia Lyden

I found this painting that my granddaughter did when she was 3 or 4 years old. We painted together then. I loved this painting, because she 1.] kept her colors clean-most children overlap too many colors and they become muddy 2.] such a great composition- can be viewed in any way--accidental of course 3.] what great movement and abandon--inherent in a young, inhibition-free child.

She is nearly 20 now. Sadly, she no longer paints.
