Mixed Media Monday - Child's play

I have a lot of experience at this, spending many hours with small grandchildren, helping them with their painting and drawing. Unfortunately, the pictures never change. "Grandma, I want a house and a girl and a path and flowers and birds in the sky and, oh, a sun, and a tree and, yes, balloons".
So this is my childish watercolour. 100% original Grandma Marie Moses-Ozstuffe.
