Afternoon of masterpiece painting with my 1 year old grandaughter

[Blackbird6]

So talented more paint on her than the canvas 😂😂

[sassy59]

She’s a true artist and I love her work. I must see if our grandson wants to paint......if I can get Pete to go out maybe....lol. Xxxxx😘😂

[Blackbird6 in reply to sassy59]

Awww do it Carol I had such a giggle with her she was covered head to toe in the stuff all water based colours ...she's fast asleep in bed now well cot fingers crossed it stays that way 😂😂🤔

[sassy59 in reply to Blackbird6]

I’d like to do that as it would be fun. Our grandson would love it.

Hope you get a peaceful evening and night. Lovely age they’re at. Xxxx 🤫🤞🏼😴

[Blackbird6 in reply to sassy59]

It's getting that way characters coming out words forming clearly I hope you get to do some big plastic table cloth on the floor works wonders.

Have a lovley evening xx😍😍

[sassy59 in reply to Blackbird6]

Oh yes! Character in spades. Lol. I’ve got a plastic cloth so that’s something.

You have a lovely evening too. Xxx 🥰😘

Definitely antique road show of the future. Majt 🤗👍

[Blackbird6 in reply to Hidden]

One of my favourite programmes so would be great but we all have dreams 😊😊

[Hidden in reply to Blackbird6]

Lovely to dream. 😊🤗

[Hidden]

I love that, so enjoyable to do the arty crafty stuff with the young uns

[Blackbird6 in reply to Hidden]

I love it also moments are so precious with them she's our first grandchild so it's still all shiny and new 😊😊

[Hidden in reply to Blackbird6]

Wonderful x

[Magpuss]

Spectacular! May I suggest 'The Surrealists Dream' as a title? 😅😅

[Blackbird6 in reply to Magpuss]

😂😂 title of a great painting for sure it's such a shame she just can't quite sign it as yet 😂😂

[Magpuss in reply to Blackbird6]

It won't be long before she can 👍🏻😄😄

[Blackbird6 in reply to Magpuss]

Her foot print will do for now 😂

[stone-UK]

Hi

Tulip on left, fallen stool on right, horses head in blue, mermaid with flowing ginger hair bottom right, very talented requires signature.

[Blackbird6 in reply to stone-UK]

Very good eye on you Stone brilliant perception or you have painted with grandchildren 😂

[Yatzy in reply to Blackbird6]

I can see Stone’s viewpoint very well! It’s a glorious uninhibited very colourful painting! I’ve got our one year old granddaughter here this time next week...you’ve given me an idea, Blackbird!! Sounds like you’ve both had a lovely day....with sleep as a reward for you both! Have a lovely weekend 💕😇😃

[Blackbird6 in reply to Yatzy]

Give it a go with her it's very enjoyable gets them connected to colours and fun into the bargain...too many techno kids about today that have phones as hands the old ways have been forgotten I think sometimes ....but time to get the brushes and water colours out breathezee have a wonderful time with your little one 😊😊😊

[Yatzy in reply to Blackbird6]

I’ll have to dig deep for all the paraphernalia! I’ve got it all somewhere...our oldest granddaughter is fourteen, and she loved splashing about at a young age. Her skills persisted and, for Christmas, she presented a portrait painting of our youngest one! Beautiful! There’s a bit of an art vibe in the family, I must confess, we’ve always been to galleries and so on.

If the little one gets going, I’ll send you a pic, we’ll get the rug up!! Penny 👩‍🎨 🤸‍♂️ 🎨

[Blackbird6 in reply to Yatzy]

How lovley for you that your eldest one made a masterpiece of the youngest bet you were thrilled with it . Yep dig it all out and maybe we could get a little art gallery up and running have a lovley weekend and enjoy the painting 😍

[Caspiana]

It is very nice Blackbird6 . She must have had loads of fun. 😊 xx

[Blackbird6 in reply to Caspiana]

Thankyou Caspiana we both had lots of fun together 😂

[2greys]

Obviously artistic talent must run in the family, painting or photography.

[Blackbird6 in reply to 2greys]

I'm very pleased and admire her brushwork very much especially when we end up covered in paint magic moments lol xx

[hypercat54]

That is a good painting anyway. I can see a house, a person, puddles, a flower, and some grass. x

[Blackbird6 in reply to hypercat54]

It's certainly got lots of things to see in one picture the more you look the more you imagine 😊

[hypercat54 in reply to Blackbird6]

Yep x

[megshafer]

Are you two showing at a gallery? I see a mixture of many famous pieces. It's fabulous!!! Children love to paint, I think it makes them appreciate art, colours, and their grandparents!!

Meg xx

[Blackbird6 in reply to megshafer]

Couldn't agree more Meg even if it's just making a mess of colours our imagination makes up the rest

Have a lovley weekend xx

[Wuggywoo]

Looks like you both had great fun. How lovely

[Blackbird6 in reply to Wuggywoo]

Thankyou yes we did have a giggle with it x

[Izb1]

Great picture Blackbird6. I loved the times I spent with my grandson painting, making masks, making paper chains etc, plastercine, he loved it and so did I. He is 15 now and a typical teenager so hardly see him, but have such happy memories x

[Blackbird6 in reply to Izb1]

Awww how lovley you can look back on special times and give me lots of ideas for future play days.... 15 year old boys are a law unto themselves lol he will be bringing his girlfriend's round to see you😂😂

[Izb1 in reply to Blackbird6]

Oh how I wish I lived near to him, alas he is in Cardiff which is a 3 1/2 train journey away, before that they lived in Tenerife so have never been near. When working I used to go over to Tenerife four times a year so that he wouldnt forget me and just make that week fun. I never had a problem getting down to his level, think my son in law thought I was mad, rolling around the floor with him or playing football or painting each others faces, it was great x

[Blackbird6 in reply to Izb1]

Awwww it's a fair old treck for you. But hey all that rolling around on the floor sounds like lots of fun to me.. I hope you get to see him soon and your family 😊

[SquirrelsHolt]

E.X.C.E.L.L.E.N.T.!!! 😀👍🎨🌟

[Blackbird6 in reply to SquirrelsHolt]

Thankyou little squirrel 😊😊

[Whitechinchilla]

I agree. That should be framed! What a fabulous use of colour. Worthy of a toddler never mind a one year old. Move over Picasso you have competition😊

[Blackbird6 in reply to Whitechinchilla]

😂😂😂 Picasso monet and van one ear I should think lol xx

[katieoxo60]

But that is part of the fun, it does look a good picture very modern art.

[Blackbird6 in reply to katieoxo60]

Very modern baby 😂😂

[Hacienda]

Beautiful Picture, Clever Girl. a Lovely Abstract. The other day When My Granddaughter who has just given Birth this Morning, her Amelia ( my First GGD) was painting the Babies face on The Big Tummy. I do have a Photo, But I won't share as it's a bit personal. Now Baby is Here, I will share the one she does as a Portrait, Our Babies are so Clever Hun. Love n Hugs XXXXX

[Blackbird6 in reply to Hacienda]

They are all amazing and so make such a difference to our lives. My one is chatting away walking teeth galore and so happy just to be around her xx

[Hacienda in reply to Blackbird6]

Enjoy every moment, she is at that wonderful Learning age. Love n Hugs xxxxx

[Blackbird6 in reply to Hacienda]

❤❤❤

[Hidden]

That's amazing! It's as good - if not better - than many of the other pieces called 'art' nowadays! Next stop: The National Gallery...? 👍 xx

[Blackbird6 in reply to Hidden]

Lol I feel that she will go far but I'm biased of course 😂😂😂

[Titian8]

I love it, that's a really good painting, especially like the vibrancy of it.

Jackson Pollock better watch out.

[Blackbird6 in reply to Titian8]

I like Jason Pollock very abstract ...throwing it all together on a canvass and getting it out there x

[majji]

Look out Jackson Pollock - here she comessssss

[Sandyeggo]

I beg to differ with Stone it’s OBVIOSLY rainbows and butterflies LOL the true accomplishment is Grandma got her to take a nap and snuck out of the room without getting caught! I miss that, I did it daily with mine at that age now she’s going to be 13 in a few weeks and the only thing she really likes to do is go shopping, mainly clothes shopping. Not this Grandmas favorite. I’d prefer a hike or a swim or walk the dogs and she thinks exercise is like a bad word nobody should mention in her presence unless it’s exercising her fingers on phone or iPad. She doesn’t even know how to correctly write in cursive, it’s no longer required here, I think it’s truly a shame. My father taught me cursive and how to read time on a watch before I started kindergarten. Have a great weekend with her, does she get ice cream and pie for breakfast? LOL

[Blackbird6 in reply to Sandyeggo]

Hey Sandyeggo

Your 13 old sounds like a dream and any other young person phones ipads shopping is their passion nowadays.

Seems many moons ago I was shopping for the latest hippy skirts and dresses to suit the British summers of the 70s .

A good walk would suits me better also and the benefits are incredibly good for us all .

Apple pie cream she can have what she wants so long as it's making her smile but not too much as she would be spoiled...

Hope your well today and weather's being kind happy Sunday ♥️

[Sandyeggo in reply to Blackbird6]

I’m fairly certain it’s ok if they’re spoiled a little bit bcuz generally they get another sibling and learn sharing overnight. At least that’s what I had thought but as most couples that start too young my girls parents couldn’t stay together so she has ended up an only child but has very close cousins that treat her as if she’s a sibling so she has learned the value of sharing and giving often feels better than receiving. She’s really a great kid and is not one drop of my blood people often comment how she is like me in ways. My husband had 4 children before we were married those kids became mine. One of them had this Granddaughter I speak of. She understands about the biology of it all but to her I am Grandma and luckily her Grandma doesn’t smoke or drink anymore. I’m happy about that bcuz I have over stressed to my family the importance of health. It was my major in college as well as all the illnesses I’ve had they see that I put forth great effort to balance nutrition and exercise daily and I think that’s all we can do is set our best example

[Harry13]

Very talanted artist. Great abstract of a river crossing, Well that's what I can see,

[Blackbird6 in reply to Harry13]

You see what your imagination lets you Harry it's good to hear input. I'm sure there will be plenty more paint days to follow 😊😊
