Last Friday while the kids were in homeschool with Darwin I set about transforming our porch into an afternoon art studio. I set up two wooden tables with painting and art supplies and another small table with our cd player, a plastic vase with a few freshly-cut flowers, our camera which the kids love to use, and a bowl full of fresh coconuts ready for snacking. To finish off the prep work, I pinned up a sign that read “Welcome to the Peaceful and Creative Place.” Throughout the afternoon the kids worked on painting projects, cracked open coconuts, took photos, and danced around our large porch. The following photos were taken by the children and me that afternoon.
