**Lori and her granddaughter Temperance, invented Partnership Painting. They sat opposite each other, each with paint and brushes, and just started dabbing a canvas with color. It was random, abstract, whimsical, delightful. They asked each other what the developing work of art needed next, and one of them would paint it. The results always surprised and pleased them.
