Graeme, the Painter
Dec. 3rd, 2010 04:54 pmGraeme was working on some sun-inspired paintings for Yule. I had to cut our conversation off short, as the video was getting too long for Flickr, but I wanted everyone to be able to see him in his natural environs--elbow-deep in paint. :)

I have watched it now and am even more in love.
When I heard you saying "You ARE an artist to him" my heart and eyes got full. How I wish more parents were like that... I could FEEL your words (and your acceptance and love of him) going straight like an arrow deep into his soul. Children that age take things in - so deep.
he won't forget ever

That sounds grim, but really it just keeps us present. :)
