My son has such enthusiasm for painting; squirting out tubes of paint and stepping onto the canvas to mix the colors with his feet. On this canvas he brought his monster truck toy onto the surface and drove it through the squishy, thick paint. He and I paint together; making marks, talking about colors and what feels good in our bodies when we use our fingers to spread paint. The title is a part of a question he asked me while we were playing on our enclosed porch during the spring. He asked, "How can I grab the sunshine and bring it in the house?"
