We just wanted to show you how industrious 3-year-old Kindergarteners in Germany spend their days.
Carissa is really starting to enjoy colors, and also brings home anew picture for Mommy almost every day.
Here’s today’s picture:
The work shows a strong crosshatch motif, and a wonderful use of color. There is also an underlying emotional thrust with an honesty that only a child can acheive. Jackson Pollock, eat your heart out. Blah, blah, blah, blah….
Of course, there remain some unanswered questions about the authorship of the work. In certain circles, there is a belief that Carissa either did not create the work, or that she had significant help from her classmates. Also, there is something that appears to be a signature in the bottom right corner that doesn’t look like Carissa’s handwriting. (Just kidding.)
In any case, Carissa wanted to make sure that Grandma, Nana, and the Papaws saw it. So here it is.
