Being Creative Requires Having a Lot of Supplies on Hand

For as long as I can remember I have been a creative person. Let's see, it all began when I was in elementary school. I loved to draw with pencils and colored pencils. When it came to my drawing, the only things I could draw, just as today, were abstract objects. For some reason, as much as I loved being creative, drawing from life, people, animals and trees, just did not work out for me.

Along with drawing, abstract items or what is in my mind, I love painting. Oh, I have always loved painting and this too began when I was in elementary school. As I got older, I took all sorts of art classes on high school and college. Instead of taking language classes in high school, I took two years of art classes. I still have a vivid memory of me drawing a picture from Gone With the Wind, with Scarlett wearing her green dress and green hat. I have no idea what happened to this drawing after high school, but in high school, that was one of my best drawings.

After high school, I went to my local community college and took about two drawing courses and two painting courses. It looked as if I would do something with drawing or painting, but I took a different avenue. Even though I did not use my art skills in life, I still love to draw and paint today. In fact, I always have drawing and painting art supplies in my garage. I also have a plastic box where I keep my drawing pencils, colored pencils, all sorts of paint colors, drawing paper and all sizes of painting canvases.

My Twins Drawing on Chalkboards

My twins, they love drawing on their chalkboards. Twin A seems to always draw the same way: girls(mommy, sister and herself) with hats and a dress; no arms, legs, feet or hands. I always ask her, "Where are the arms, legs, feet and hands?"





My other twin, Twin B also loves to draw on her chalkboard. Now, Twin B, she does her best to add the other body parts to her drawings. I love seeing my twins draw and paint because I paint, but not really good at drawing.





My Aunt ( one of seven) is at drawing and painting. So, I guess my twins have obtained a family trait when it comes to being creative.

Right now, my twins are five, but they have a lot of room for improvement and I can not wait to see what they draw and paint as they get older...

My Twins Art Work

My twins really enjoy drawing and doing anything creative. I am sure I have written about this before. Ever since my twins could pick up a pencil, crayon, pen in their hands, they have been drawing. This is some of my twins artwork. The more artwork they do, the better they will become at being little artists.
