“If I had my child to raise all over again,I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less.I'd do less correcting, and more connecting.I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.I would care to know less, and know to care more.I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.I'd run through more fields, and gaze at more stars.I'd do more hugging, and less tugging.I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.I'd build self esteem first, and the house later.I'd teach less about the love of power, and more about the power of love.” IfsKnowsFirstsChildrenSelfPlayWould BeEyeCareRunningHouseStarsParentWatchesTeachSelf EsteemFieldsSeriousRaisesParentingFingersPaintEsteemFirmMy ChildrenHugConnectingRaising ChildrenPower Of LoveBeing A ParentCorrectingHaving ChildrenKitesChildren And ParentsParents LoveChildren PlayingGood ParentRaising KidsFunny ParentingParent ChildFunny ParentTuggingGreat ParentingInspirational ParentingKids PlayingRaise Self EsteemLove My ParentsLoving ChildrenInspirational ParentsEyes WatchingI Love My ParentsLove My KidsWise ParentsBuilding Self EsteemBeing A Good ParentLove My ChildrenThrough The Eyes Of A ChildLove My SonHaving A Son Author:Diana Loomans

“You must first realize the thing completely in your mind. Then grasp the brush, fix your attention so that you see clearly what you wish to paint; start quickly, move the brush, follow straight what you see before you, as the buzzard swoops down when the hare jumps out.

“In collage you're doing it in stages so you're not actually doing it right there. You first of all draw it on the paper, then you cut it up, then you paste it down, then you change it, then you shove it about, then you may paint bits of it over, so actually you're not making the picture there and then, you're making it through a process, so it's not so spontaneous.” FirstsMayBitsProcessCuttingStagePaperDrawsPaintSpontaneousCollages Book:Paula Rego Source: Paula Rego
