Art critic

Another one of my scribbles.

“So, do you like my drawing?” I once asked my 3-year old.

My 3-year old looked at my drawing. Then he looked at me.

“No,” he said.

“No?”

“No,” he repeated.

“Why not?” I asked, a little irritated.

“It’s scratchy.”

But it’s supposed to be that way, I wanted to tell … nay, lecture my 3-year old. That’s why it is called a scribble. It’s a style. Picasso had a funny style. People liked it, though.

“Scratchy?” I asked my 3-year old.

“Scratchy,” he said while gesturing with his hands. “Your signature. It’s scratchy.”

Oh.

My 3-year old. My art critic.

Very honest. Too honest, I think.

hehe Honesty is the best policy. My toddler is no kinder. She asks me to draw and I ask her if I did it right .... NO! hehe!

Scratchy is our kids favorite word these days!

"No Daddy, I don't want that shirt - it's scratchy"
"No Mama, I don't want that macaroni - it's scratchy"
"No Mama, I don't want that movie - it's scratchy"

[Tina]

[Ame]

[Nikkie]

I think thats a very lovely scribble!

[Pass the Torch]

Yeah, you're supposed to fill in everything. And where are the trees and rainbows. And every picture should have a sun.

Keep it scratchy. It looks awesome and it will keep him thinking outside the box;)

Great "scribble"!

Thanks for your comments, funny!

[Mimi]

It is funny how teaching kids to be honest always backfires on us! LOL!

[Christine]

Love it! And you have one adorable 3-year-old...

[Overwhelmed!]

This picture is beautiful!!!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. The beautiful paintings on mine are NOT my own. The nursing mother one is "Maternity" a Picasso. I'm betting you already knew that, considering your artistic ability!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog Mike. That scribble is amazing! Your three-year old is too precious.

I also wanted to add that I think it's super cool that you blog. Bloggers rule!

[Kelli]

I actually love your scribbles, and would want to see what your pricing is.

Thank you so much.

This scribble is GORGEOUS! I have always harbored a deep-down dream of being able to sketch/draw/scribble my own children someday, and I'm still hoping that the little ones will show up sometime soon... So I can try to scribble them! In the meantime, I can admire beauties like this. And keep on dreaming...

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog -- it was a pleasant surprise, and of course you're always welcome!

Best to you! Keep up the beautiful work. I'm enjoying reading your stories.

That picture makes me feel like I know your son, like I've seen him before...it's so real! I love the expression in his face. What talent!
