Cottonwood Arts Festival

For the past several years, we have gone to the Cottonwood Arts Festival.  They have art from LOTS of artists, but they also have a really neat children's area.  Last year they had canvases set up for the kids to paint on and Ryan loved this activity.  He has been talking about it reguarly for a year.  Needless to say, he was very excited when he learned that it was almost time for the festival and couldn't stop talking about painting another picture.  Fortunately, they had this activity again this year and he asked for his colors and sat right down and started painting.  He must have been planning this painting for the past year because he acted like he knew what he was doing.  We were amazed at his picture!


Last year's picture is on the left and this year's picture is on the right.  The 3 people are Ryan and his friends.  Ryan is in the middle.  On the left is his friend G, who has curly hair in real life as well as in the picture.  G is jumping up and down.  On the right of Ryan is his friend A.  Ryan and A are giving a high five.  The blue is the sky, the green is the grass, and the orange is the sun.
