I arrived home from work one rainy day to find my daughter finger painting on the fridge. My wife was a genius at creating interesting things to occupy such days.

The artistic viewpoint Slightly skewed Somewhat short Just past the “two’s” Water colors On a white fridge A bit a-kilter Pumpkin heads A blur of witches ‘Gainst the moon O’er dripping leaves ‘Neath artist’s eyes

Whatever works for a canvas is fair game to a two-year-old. I'll have to offer my white fridge to Eloise (4) who started painting with me when she was two. We should always encourage our children to be hands on, artistically. Thanks for sharing this.
