Just walked into my daughter's room and found this cute little scene. Makes an artist Mommy's heart sing! He has seen me paint at this lap desk and I guess he went looking for it.
It makes me want to sing too - look at all that vivid expression, his brushstrokes have movement. Movement is something I see quite a bit of in the brushstrokes of oil painters, but not of watercolorists. My husband & I were just talking about how brush strokes (variety, direction, etc) give oil paint such strength. Here, your son has managed to do just that in watercolor. Funny how children can be such great teachers. Carolina
