As a child, my grandmother’s advice to me was, “color outside the lines.” And although as a child I could clearly see the bold lines on the pages of the coloring book she gifted me, even then, it felt uncomfortable, risky, a bit silly and pointless, as she gently guided my hand with Crayola intact out across the boundaries of what had been created by the designers of the page.
Jason LOVE LOVE this - wish I could have met your grandma - giving ourselves permission to create our own boundaries!!
You two artists would have been mutual admirers. She was quite special. As are you, Jeanie. Thank you so much for reading and commenting!
