Enclosed Garden

Finally squeezed some paint out of the tubes today and started what I've been thinking of all summer. Feels pretty good... there's a lot of emotion in the act of abstracts. I've been painting more of them over the last 8 months or so. Not sure if I like 'em or not! What have you been making lately?

Groovin' with My 4 Yr Old Artist

Abstract Drawing, by my 4 yr old son.... Marker on paper.

Portrait, by my 4 yr old son. (His friend, 'Boy at McDonald's').

My son is really getting into drawing faces, people and imaginary friends. He can talk for hours (especially in the evening) about friends, trains, animals and all sorts of situations of play. He free associates about these friends for at least an hour or more, usually while playing trains or pre-school computer games. He's fearless with his art making and no one needs to tell him how to draw, he seems to know exactly what he's doing and doesn't need any help with it. (although he still prefers to be fed if he can find someone to do it for him!!) :) Oh how I love to watch him create... and he usually sings to himself while working!
