Art Party
George attended an art themed party birthday party today. The little children were each given a smock and access to paper, paints, and brushes. Oh, the messes these little kids made!
At first George was a little intimidated, and instead of working at his easel he went over to each of the other little children's easels (incidentally, all the other children were girls). He would lean over the girls' work, point at their paint strokes, and often pick up a brush and add a little more color to their creations. We joked that he was an artistic critic and collaborator with the girls. Amazingly, none of the little girls minded George adding his touch to their masterpieces. After the girls had all done three or four paintings each, George finally felt comfortable enough to pick up a brush and design himself. Often he painted with two hands, but in this picture I caught him painting with his left hand while he held on to a golf club set with his right. I guess he was trying to embrace both his artistic and athletic sides.
The children's art work was hung up on the fence to dry, which didn't take long since the temperature topped 100 degrees today.
After finishing up his painting, George took a break in the birthday girl's air conditioner box fort. I couldn't decide which picture I liked best to post, so I'm going to post them both. In the first one, George is looking right at me, but in the second one George is flirting with the birthday girl's aunt.
