Who Says Adults Can't Finger Paint?

My finger tip Sunflower painting
Yesterday my daughter saw me scrolling through Pinterest and was like "Mama can we look for a project to do?" I said sure and asked what she had in mind. She said look for "paint projects." We saw several cute ideas that incorporated her hand print into a painting. She ultimately decided she wanted to make a lion out of her hand print.

We got everything together and I decided I wanted to paint as well. After seeing Liv cover her hands in paint I felt like getting a little messy too. I decided I was going to paint a sunflower using only the tip of my right pointer finger.

I looked at a few photographs for a reference and went to town. I swear I was getting way more into this painting project than Liv was. I have to say that considering we only painted for about an hour and I used only my finger tip I was quite impressed with the way my painting above came out. Sunflowers were my mom's favorite so this makes me smile. It's the little things.

I definitely want to try this technique on a few different ideas. I have a feeling it will be me suggesting finger painting to Liv next time. I am such a child. But I guess I am not the only one because look at the "Mickey Loaf" Joey surprised us with for dinner last night. Haha! xoxo
