Thank you, aquinas. My dd brings a lot of happiness and delight to my life. She notices things that I never would or that i take for granted, like shapes in clouds, the glow of the white snow on a moonlit night, the imagined fear of a poor bird swept up in a tornado. I am a silent observer and like you I appreciate the beauty of arts through her interpretations. Not sure if this back seat approach is all that she needs or if I need to let my DH use his approach. I am afraid she will stop doing it if it becomes a task that needs practice and mastery. Anyway, i am rambling. Thanks again!
