So I realize that I am biting off far more than I can chew here so far in the New Year. I had two or three nearly simultaneous ideas for new series, all of which seem worth following through. With minimal time away from my two-year-old, and commissions still on queuing up, it has already proved more than I can logistically cram into my schedule. Still...well, I just can't resist. This is the first in a series I'd like to do based on the curious, marvelous, artless, and often acutely perceptive things that children say.This bon mot came from a friend's son, aged four. I have a couple more stored up in my notebook, but after that I will need help. So if any of you has a particularly good quote from a child (of any age) that you'd like to share for the series, please do send it my way!
Cael, after taking all the toilet paper out of the roll: "I wanted to see where it ended."

I love it! That's perfect, Yoli! Now I can't wait to finish commissions so I can start on the next one.
ReplyDeleteYour work is precious
ReplyDeleteI don't know if these will translate well into art, but two things my son said when he was younger:
ReplyDelete"Circles grow up to be balloons."
"I have friends I haven't even met yet!"
