Taylor and I are going to do a little Mother/Son bonding today. (His words.) Taylor is an artist. He draws all the time and has done several paintings. He just finished a painting for his high school art class and the teacher is going to frame it and hang it in the high school office. This is the first time Taylor has received this honor. He is very excited.
Taylor has always been an artist. When he was about 5, he started drawing flames and skulls and coloring them. Then he would cut them out and tape them to his toy cars and trucks. He won 2nd place in a district art contest when he was in 2nd grade for a picture he drew and colored of life on Mars, complete with martians, space ships, stars, and craters in the planet.
Today we are going to Hobby Lobby to pick up some more painting supplies for his school projects and some beads and other goodies for a few ideas we are working on together. I love seeing Taylor excited by a project idea. I love seeing him work at something that he is excited about it. I love knowing he has that creative/artistic spark that keeps his mind always humming, always working to find a new way to express himself.
