Painting with my daughter

One of the things I really love to do is paint with my daughter.  She has absolutely no fear about painting anything.  Her paintings might be one color, or they may be A plethora of colors.  But whatever the color just goes at it with little fear and great enthusiasm.  This past weekend we decided to paint a whale.  I spread some butcher paper on the kitchen floor and taped it down, she grabbed the iPad to look up whales.  She decided on the one to paint, in this case a killer whale, and I drew it.  I got her the largest paint brushes I had, and sat down beside her.  She told me some great stories about whales:  What they eat, what they like to do in their free time, where they go on vacation, etc.

There was supposed to be a lesson about whales to go along with the painting, but I think I got more of the lesson than she did.  Thats OK, I had a great time painting with her.
