It’s not really a photo of the day…..but a set of photos. I found this slideshow from a while back of Boo painting in the garage. The huge canvas was an old painting a friend salvaged from a house remodel.
The “Untortured” Artist – who paints in Disney colors.
It’s awesome to see how creative kids can be when they are given little to no boundaries! Check out the whole series on painting with the children if you get a chance:

A tortured artist…..only when I make her clean up:

I love this! True that children really blossom, when they get free reign to create; they haven’t yet reached the point where they forget their connection to the Divine. 🙂
LOVE!!!!!
beautiful painting <3
SHE IS THE CUTEST!!!
I love this – I just posted on my FB wall and my Blogs FB page!!!
That’s so gorgeous!! How fun!
Wow, what a great opportunity for a child to experiment and create. Turned out very cute!
I love the picture of her feet!! It says so much of how she spent her day.

That is just so awesome. I love the determined look, the fact that she paints and only has pink feet and you give her gallons to work with. We have some horrible art in our office and I would trade for Boo’s art any day.

that looks like so much fun! when i was little my dad gave me a canvas to paint on. i repainted it for a few years, and i loved it. Even as an adult there is something cathartic about painting
Oh I love this!! I just might have to steal your idea to let my lil man paint his own canvas for his room!
I love it! She is a little artist. Great job Boo 🙂
I saw this picture first on Pinterest. My first thought was “That looks like Boo!” – weirded myself out a little. Guess I read pretty frequently 🙂
Love this. That is a child’s dream – a humongous canvas and free reign. How totally awesome. The color scheme is fantastic!
That is AWESOME!! I love it!
Great idea!!!! My favorite part is the cute little colored footsies at the end 🙂
I was just talking about painting with the boys tomorrow. Now we HAVE to! It’s wonderful to watch kids use their creativity. So inspiring.
Adorable!!! She had so much FUN!!!!
Aw, too cute! She’s going to love having little videos and all the photos of her childhood when she’s older.
It is such a gorgeous piece of art. I hope you’ve got space to put it somewhere
Oh my, LOVE those painty feet!
*sigh* – too cute <3
Brings to mind a variation on an old joke. I’ve tried painting with children, but to be honest I prefer brushes!
Good to see a child being creative! You are a very encouraging and supportive Mom.

First of all, Boo did a fabulous job! I love it! You’re a great mom for stoking her creativity like that.
Secondly, I was taking my kids to school this morning and a song came on that instantly made me think of you. “What joy, what joy for those whose hope is in the name of the Lord! What peace, what peace for those whose confidence is in the Lord!”
Praying for you today, Ash!
Gorgeous! I love what she did. My 6yo loves painting and she’d love this, just have to find a canvas now. 🙂 Great job Boo!
Love it! going to share your painting tutorial with a few friends, it was always how i was brought up 🙂 its horrible the idea of children being restricted and not allowed to make a mess.
🙂
eek! I *LOVE* that painting. What a great job she did!
I love the large scale painting your daughter gets to do. A true artist at work 🙂
