No Bad Art

In an attempt to find something to do with mom, I introduced her to Zentangle. Draw a few squiggles, then fill in each little square.  She worked on hers for about 45 mins while we sat outside in the courtyard.  

Gives us something to do, as we rarely have much to discuss.  A 3 hour visit leaves too much time for discussion, as I have found that whatever I tell her?? Gets gossipped around.  *sigh* 

So when she was done, she said "throw this one away".  I said "no, we dont throw away art. "

So .... do we?  Art is subjective, but she has always wanted things perfect or they get tossed.  I spent many years making art, crafts, and such, given as gifts only to have them tossed because they weren't perfect.  

So I'm of the mindset that art doesn't have to be perfect for it to be lovely.  

Keep doing art!
