I like to draw because it makes my mind flow. --Todd, age 10

10 Pieces of Wisdom for Painters:
Artist Leigh Hyams of San Miguel Allende, Mexico writes, "I found this script today in a forgotton portfolio. It was dictated to me by my four-year-old granddaughter Annalena, who could not write then, but she knew how to advise people to paint and draw. I like her advice enormously, not to mention her attitude..." Here's just one example of Annalena's painting wisdom: "When I don't have anything to do and get bored, I start painting and then I just can't stop and it makes me feel good." [more]

Be The Change:
Make your mind flow: Paint without worrying about making a good likeness. Try out Annalena's suggestions, while you're at it!

I'm inspired to spend some time painting with my daughter and husband this weekend. It will give us a chance to enjoy life together without the stress of the world.

Long back, one day my daughter Farah who was then four years old, came from school and said "Papa, today I lost the game while playing badminton with a friend." I said " But, dear daughter, you are describing it as if you won the game." She smilingly said " Papa, I enjoy even in losing the game.".

What a big lesson. Today she stands graduated in Computer Science from a well known University, and on her job she is known as "Computer Guru".

Gimme a break! Does any four year old really talk like that? Grndparents are often biased, but Annalena's seems to be actually making things up.
