It took me four years to paint like Raphael,

but a lifetime to paint like a child.

I had a fun request last week.
A friend asked if I would consider having her daughter's birthday party in my studio.  The studio was filled with laughter for much of the two hours, but the best moments were when the children were absolutely focused on their paintings. The intensity was tangible. And the results were spontaneously beautiful.
Children's art is always a success. It gives me such joy.

Big brother has often come to Aartz workshops and is quite the painter. He got to have fun painting
