Brooke's first painting





This Christmas I helped my daughter Brooke paint her first ever painting. I did the underpainting and mixed the paint. It was very gratifying to see her paint for the first time ever, then it was hard to let her make mistakes and not want to paint it myself. Patience. I forget she is ten years old.

The painting was a gift to my brother Jimmy and his wife Lori who love lighthouses. Their reaction to the painting far exceeded my expectations. Hopefully Brooke will want to continue to paint.
