I grew up painting. My Mother is an artist and always had a studio in the house. It was filled with canvases, paint tubes, and the smell of paint. She had a large wooden easel and I had a little one right next to her. Art was a part of my life.
And now, I have a studio in the house. And I paint on a large wooden easel, and my little ones paint on their little wooden easel that NiNi (Grandma) bought for them.
