For many years i guarded this little painting, believing it is the ONLY piece of art we have that my oldest son did. i thought it really talented and beautiful and have been really upset that he has not wanted to do anything ever again since age 8 ..... i felt a failure as a mother for not being able to nurture this obvious talent and to be unable to encourage him to express himself, until recently i heard ( from one of the brothers) that he had bought it from a girl in his class just to get me to stop nagging him for a painting !
but now i have become so attached to this painting and have spent so much energy making sure it survived 30 odd years of life in a large family, that i cannot discard it....
i knocked over this little frame with the carved sheep that i designed many years ago as part of a children's range i did in India, and i wondered how many of them are still floating around the world ...
Don't you just love this simple little lamp i made one night when i needed somehting pretty to read by ?
