The Dot: Pointillism

"Just make a mark and see where it takes you."

We LOVE  Peter Raymond's 'The Dot'. It's simple drawings and clever text make it an easy classic. O was intent on reading it over again and then happy to set about her own dot art.

We arranged the watercolour with several Q-tips; my sorry attempt to keep colours separate ..and it worked. I invited O to make dots, as Vashti in the story created. But much like Vashti, O had her own idea of what art is, so she carried on with her creation.

And at last I invited her to "Please sign it."
