Children's Art: 

"The greatest masterpiece and the greatest story ever told."

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up” – Pablo Picasso

Dr Abe V Rotor

LIVING with NATURE CENTER

San Vicente, Ilocos Sur

Let the wind blow, the grass grow, the mist settle down;

guide a child, brush and colors in her hand, reign

over a beautiful realm we grownups have given up long ago,

never to return, yet yearning, to be children again;

We pass this way but once - and again through our genes,

in tender hands and heart, we've lived not in vain.

 

“There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.” – Pablo Picasso

 

“Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?” – Pablo Picasso

 

I watched a child paint the floor of our house.

I gave her all the things she needed,

then left to attend the chores of the day.

What had she done in my absence?

I almost forgot all about the whole thing.

That always happens to a busy person.

I returned, apologetic. She didn't say a word.

She was still busy painting without respite.

I studied her paintings on the floor.

Suddenly I felt I was talking to myself.

Me, an artist of many movements:

realism, romanticism, to postmodern.

And she, the artist of peace and harmony,

naturalness and simplicity.

Here's the greatest masterpiece of the world.

and the greatest story ever told. ~

“No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did he would cease to be an artist” – Oscar Wilde
