Artist turns her 2 year old daughter's doodles into beautiful paintings

“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” – Pablo Picasso 

Ruth Oosterman was a pregnant artist with creator’s block and a need for inspiration.  Then Eve was born and became her muse and soon after a collaborator.

“I would paint with her strapped onto my chest and when she was old enough to use a crayon we began sketching together,” Oosterman said. 

Eve is 2 now and talented enough to make some pretty cool doodles that serve as a sketch for Ruth to bring to life.  

“I have always dreamed of collaborating with her but assumed it was still a few years away before she would be old enough. I realized that we were already collaborating and didn’t even know it.
