Toddler Abstract Artwork
I let my 3 year old daughter paint on both sides of a piece of subfloor I had to remove, not thinking that her painting would be the first piece of artwork we would display in our home. Children are full of surprises. :)
The first large painting my daughter created. I just gave her a paintbrush and a craft pot kit in cool colors.
I'm surprised she filled the board and layered colors.
To keep her occupied another time, I flipped over her artwork, gave her a craft pot kit in warm colors and then she stunned me again! :)

The top painting (the blue/yellow/green colored one) looks like an abstract painting of Tinkerbell. If you look closely, you can see her blonde hairdo & her body ....yes, it's sort of a blurred view of her, but it looks like Tink nonetheless. I showed this post to 5 of my friends & family members & they all agree that it looks like Tinkerbell. You may have a true blue artist on your hands!!! How awesome!!!! Nurture that talent, many people go to school & train as an apprentice for many years to paint like that!!! Wow!!

Thank you for taking the time to comment, @DanielleHogan. :) I didn't think to look for an image in her painting! I am not sure how to formally go about nurturing her artistic side. I just let her play with painting as often as she is interested. She made a virtual abstract painting of Wall-E on an iPad that I wish I could have framed - he was recognizable among a blur of swirls and colors! :)
