The Kindness of an Artist

“There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a happy and smiling child.  I always help in any way I can, even if it’s just by signing an autograph.  A child’s smile is worth more than all the money in the world.”
~ Lionel Messi

On a recent visit to a theme park, a street artist draw portraits of our children.  One of my children, who loves to draw, was very intrigued by how the artist quickly completed the drawings.  He asked her what kind of pencil she used.  The artist explained that it was a certain brand of wax pencil, which enabled her to paint with watercolor over the drawing without it smudging.  As we were her last clients, we watched as the artist packed up her materials.  Before she left, she gave my son one of her pencils.  He was thrilled.
