Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2005. Mattie was three years old and enjoying the art of foot painting. This wasn't exactly a clean endeavor, but Mattie absolutely loved the experience. The beauty of Mattie was he was a neat fellow. So though he would make a mess with his feet and on paper, he did not run around our home with painted feet. He just seemed to understand that this was off limits. Mattie created some beautiful things with his feet. An example is below!

June of 2016. I worked for months with the DC Department of Works to get it removed. I can't believe four months later it is back with a vengeance!
I photographed it and reported it to the Department of Works. To me this is vial, it defaces public property and it shows a true depravity and disregard for laws and other peoples' space.

I don't like GRAFFITI at all!!! I can't say it better than you did about what it indicates!!! Why does anyone think they own this right to deface property!
As a Preschool teacher and PlayLady, past tense in the working sense, I LOVE YOUR PICTURE OF MATTIE FEET PAINTING! It is obvious, you are doing this messy project at home and this makes the picture, even warmer to me. So many creative works that become treasures can be done at home. Your willingness, even though Mattie was neat, to give him this experience at home carries so much meaning to me.
