    Sorry to post again but this actually what I came to post and I'm abotu to leave for the day. I've been doing a huge piece on my easel since I was at my last studio. Its all in blue, and I've put many hours into it now. Its nearly complete. My two year old came in to the studio today for a little while. I sat her with some colouring pencils and a big piece of paper. We drew some stuff. I went out of the room to make my gwife a coffee and then shortly after they left.

    I just decided to do some more to my piece before I leave. The piece is blue. Blue droid, blue typography, blue background, blue everything.

    Except for the bottom right hand corner, which is now buried beneath orange and magenta pencil scribbles.

    I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry. The piece has many faults anyway, but as I always abandon these pieces before they're done I resolved to finish this one off regardless of the errors I have made. Now I have to write it off anyway. It really stops me getting too precious about my work when she adds her own layers to it!

    • She sounds good with colour, shame on you for not putting some orange in there beforehand.

    • hahaha why do you leave her alone with your work? is it a subconscious desire to see it ruined?7point34
    • That sucks, Spooky. But hey, you now have a cute story for her once she's a bit older. Keep that piece.Jaline
    • Sounds to me like the piece just became invaluable.
