"THE SERIOUS ARTIST" 12" X 12" Pastel on Pastelbord nfs
I just completed this painting of my grandson, Landon. He's three years old and loves anything to do with art. He's comfortable with experimentation and is open to changing his original intention at any time. He loves to paint outside the lines and can complete a whole painting with just three colors. He uses a mixture of hard and soft edges, and he'll often disregard the true color of objects in favor of colors he feels are more suitable. There's so much I can learn from him!

He's good! So is his grandmother! You did a beautiful job of capturing his concentration.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like he is a left-hander. So is one of my daughters.
Carol, this is just beautiful. You can just see the level of concentration on his gorgeous little face.
ReplyDeleteAnn Marie, thank you so much! He's already told his Daddy he does "abstract" work!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this painting of your grandson, he is so intent in what he is doing, you really captured that well, and then he is left handed..like me.
ReplyDeleteHi Virginia,
ReplyDeleteYes, he's a leftie in everything he does.It'll be fun to watch him as he develops. Being a grandmother is such a joy!
Look at that chubby little hand! Really darling and you just captured his efforts so well! Couldn't we all learn a lot from children?
ReplyDeleteYou're exactly right, Libby. We could learn so much!
ReplyDeleteThis is so darling. I love the concentration on his sweet face. Wonderful treasure for your family!
