Anyhow, I had my grandson for a visit (after my husband had passed) and he wanted to paint and draw. I got out the art supplies and out dropped a picture of a big gravel truck with all the bells and whistles.
While my grandson was too young to remember these times with his Grandpa, that drawing brought back many precious memories for me so I framed that picture for my grandson and it now hangs on his bedroom wall.

Thank for sharing that. Quite the story.
We have all kinds of her and her sister's art all over the house - kitchen cupboards, walls, shelves and about three strained-to-capacity folders each. The two of them very seriously cannot stop creating, so it sometimes becomes a struggle to decide what stays and what has to go (I always find it hard to throw out anything that they made). But there will always be their work on display. It's also fun to see how their work is always evolving and what's influential.
