On My Son, The Artist – He’s Quite An Impressionist, I Tell You

Posted on October 27, 2011 by exmi

This is a picture my almost-four-year-old son drew the other day.

“This is mommy,” he says. “Mommy when she’s cross*.”

* In my defense: it was probably because I’d just discovered this, behind the couch. In permanent marker.

    I’m sorry, but this is hilarious!

    I couldn’t view the Instagram pic though…

    Ouch! Permanent marker … not good
    But he sure is an artist.

    He’s managed to capture the steam coming out of your ears very nicely 🙂

    This reminds me of the advert of Picasso drawing on the restaurant wall, after he leaves the waiter cleans it off, only to discover later that it was Picasso!

    Kids love drawing on walls, my suggestion is to get some of that black-board paint and paint the inside of a cupboard door – and show him with chalk and a duster – he’ll have a blast 😀

    Love & Light

    I know someone that just gave up and painted the bottom half of the hallway plain white and put down pens and crayons etc and just said “go for it”. When it gets too busy, out comes the cheap white paint and the wall gets painted and the cycle starts again.

    Amazingly enough, his kids know that this is where we can draw and the rest of the house stays art-free.
