    Day 3: Paint everywhere Actually we would have loved to blog properly tonight but Charlie is already asleep and leaves me alone with the photos – which are mostly not of our art (as we’ve ben covered with paint and didn’t want to ruin Charlie’s new camera).  Most photos we took today are form our…

  • River of life
