Tonight’s dogwalk #walkstr 😉

I mean no shakas. It’s just a bit strict. I’m here for it though 🤙

They have a Montessori program. It’s a very happy place I must say with a lovely little garden and music. Anyhoo. Always been a maker and makers gotta make. This observation about people feeling “locked out” is lifelong. Sometimes people who are professional arts workers want you to stop like there’s a license. It’s widespread enough in the general population that I wonder about evolutionary burden. Mum snickers about it. Her family definitely occupy the “rundown cottage in the woods outside of the village, big herb garden, strange cat” branch of the tree.😂

Dark at 5.30 here now. 🌚

Yes indeed but thinking more about the general population. Mum’s a really good artist but now has dementia. We while away our time together with drawing and painting and all the other residents at the memory support unit look on enviously. Mum tries to sling them a pencil and paper but they back away in alarm. They “can’t do that “ 🤷🏻‍♀️

How does formal education take children, who will all draw the moment they get their hands on a marker of any sort, into adults who gaze longingly at your drawing and say something to the effect of “I can’t draw” or “I wish I could do that”? It’s impressive.
