punkin project

Here are the latest pics from the boys painting their pumpkins.

Colors and paint bring out some of the most interesting parts of their personalities. I've learned:

Jackson is sensational. He literally loves the sensation of paint on his body. He laughs at the idea of paint brushes. Why detract from the feel of cool wet color coating your arms? Color distinction is of no interest- just the collaboration of silky paint mixed and mushed together. See pumpkin for evidence.

Emerson, however is very keen on the mechanics of tools- and this being his first time painting -- was ultimately disinterested with the "feeling" of paint on his skin-- avoiding most uneccessary contact, he careful used his brush to transfer color. And also inviting the idea of color separation, was precise enough to move onto another section of the pumpkin before the lines blurred too much. See pumpkin.

I, however, dont' know WHY I chose to paint a clown like woman on my pumpkin-- perhaps b/c the flow of paint has been long dried up in my veins.... takes a little unclogging. I have hopes for greater depth with more practice (as seems to be the case in many of my creative ventures-- )

At the very least- a fun project.
