The problem is how to remain
an artist once we grow up.”
~Pablo Picasso

Hmmm that's interesting... I don't see an age limit to that definition. Well, that's perfect because I am going to broaden your horizons about what is considered art. I am super excited to introduce to you a new feature to my blog... REAL Kidspiration - art created by kids! That's right! Each month I am going to feature a new artist who is under the age of 18 and give him/her a place to feature his/her artwork for everyone to see!
