art from a ten-year old's mind

my little granddaughter katie enjoyed her visit with her brothers last sunday. as soon as she sat down she started to paint. she didn't ask what she would draw or paint. i have placed on the table the water, the pads, the brushes, and paper towels. while i painted a sunflower field, she was just busy doing her thing. she's partial to darker colours, especially violet and purple. when i asked, she said she paints what she sees in her head. this is one of them. examining it afterwards, there seems to be a sense of melancholies in it but the lighter horizon seems to give off hope. i thought it was a curious painting, what i'd not expect from a ten-year old girl. needless to say, i am exceedingly impressed.
Very abstract. It would be nice to hear the story behind it.

She does have an horizon which is relevant. And an opening which means and entryway. Ahead lies mystery - a twisted form tying sky to land.

I love how the sky changes in values, her clouds are lovely and that open gate is so inviting. She's got some talent for you to nurture

She definitely has some artistic talent in her genes! To be able to put what she sees in her head on paper and make it recognizable by others is an impressive skill. Her painting is fabulous and her grandmother’s photo shows it off so well

I'm glad that she feels confident to paint what she sees in her head and hasn't been tied down by the perceived expectations of others.

She has good genes. I would not begin to decipher the meaning of the painting, but might consider asking what is inside her head so that she'd explain her picture a bit more.
