Dear Kid,

In 1998, I wrote 'Colorland', an adventure story, for kids to learn a little about Painting Art while having fun. Since then, I have been working por amor al Arte* on building up the site you are in. If any of you takes an interest in Art because of my work, my goal has been achieved and all the work well worth it.

What taking an interest in Painting Art will provide you with is the discovery of one of the most fascinating Human languages, which will teach you to observe the world through different eyes - eyes opened much wider.

And in the future, if your initial interest turns into a deep passion and dedication, Painting Art will also provide you what it has provided me: the pride of belonging to the most crazy, neurotic, self-absorbed, but also the most sensitive and amazing group of people: Artists. If so, welcome to our world. Welcome to Colorland!

(*) "Por amor al Arte" is an expression in Spanish that means both, "for the love of Art" and "to work just for the sake of it" (meaning that somebody is doing something for free).
