Max Turns Art World Upsidedown

All of you artists out there best be looking over your shoulder because my grandson Max is coming up fast on the inside track. He started with black permanent marker on fabric (mom's red couch), moved on to red permanent marker on white tile (the floor), but his latest media, simple though saving mom a lot of work, is chalk on chalkboard. He chose to restrict his color pallet, and went for a minimalist abstraction entitled "Outside."


From what I have seen so far the sky is the limit as far as the fine arts go, especially after I teach him how to make microwave sculptures out of plastic toy soldiers in the microwave...

Thats beautiful Phos,
Max sure has talent, it reminds me of an aquarium too; I would encourage him with all kinds of art medium but with supervision so that he doesn't redecorate your house. :)♥

Max really has talent. He must come by it naturally. Look at grandpa's photos for the evidence.

No doubt he will also want to use that camera in time. Or not.

You should be the proud grandfather.

An artist in the making.

He just needs to confine his art work to mom approved media. Already got him a kiddie digital camera, Mrs. Phos thinks I am jumping the gun a bit, but I figure with a little supervision (AKA no camera toss) he might get a kick out of it. He already knows where the on and off switches are on his toys and knows when dad needs to intervene with a new battery. If he can figure that out a camera should be a piece of cake.
