One day I was in an art class, and I painted some paper. All I had was copy paper and my notebook paper.

There was liquid watercolor and gouache.

I also painted on newspaper, copy paper, and watercolor paper. It was every artist’s dream.

We grown-ups complicate everything. Make marks. There is only make. These are the words I live by in my creative space. Eric Carle reminds me to paint. All we need to do is pick up the brush and paint. Yes, paint a folder filled with painted papers.

I’ll scramble some eggs for lunch and then it’s let the good painting times roll!
