Endearing Young Charms

Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.  

 ~Pablo Picasso

I recently had occasion to step back and review the pieces of artwork I've done in the last few years, and I noticed something.  I don't incorporate kids into my work nearly enough.  Perhaps it's because I haven't interacted with that many children recently; maybe I've become bitter and jaded in my old age..?  Whatever the reason, I think kids' endearing young charms justify a bit more artistic attention.
