bungaree j art

I am blown away by jackson's recent art burst. Honestly I know he is my son, but I can brag: he is amazing. He is only 4. He beams when I tell him he is an artist. Isn't that what parents can help with, see what their children's giftings are and build them up?! There is already enough discouragement they will face in reaching their dreams, I am just happy to be a part of the enabling process. It is also fun that he enjoys several of the things that I enjoy (so far, art, animals and reading).

currently j is into drawing monsters, here are a couple:

happy monster (look at that smile!)
grouchy monster ( see the brown furrow lines!? this kid has talent! oh, and the green triangles are the teeth...you know monsters have green rotten teeth, right?)
(detail of the previous monster)

this is a bedroom the dark brown is a dresser, the black and purple thing on the wall is a painting, and the walls have a really great paint job (with the purple streaks!! fun stuff) the floor has purple streaks too..what fun!


robot (can't you see the antenna!?:)
mama (obviously)
mama (so sweet)
self portrait (this one was very hard to photograph, it is lighter than most of his art) It is raining he said but the sun is there to dry up the rain!
