This is the first time I've actually asked The Boy to paint something specific rather than let him paint randomly (or exploring brushstrokes as I probably should refer to it!). I said to him, "Could you paint mummy a garden please?" and this was the end result without any prompting!
I particularly love the blades of grass with mud underneath, and the 'petals' on the sun.
The Monko says
That is pretty amazing. In fact I think that's more than pretty amazing I am totally impressed
Carolin says
Going by his use of green, I'd say it's a Monet π
Notmyyearoff says
That's a Monet, all the natural beauty in it. Very pretty!

A true budding artist there
Red Rose Mummy says
Great picture! Is that an Ikea easel? How do you find it? We're looking at getting one.
Elaine Livingstone says
well the grass is at the bottom, and the sky at the top, and is better than I could achieve as art is not my thing.
Coombemill - Fiona says
It is a beautiful garden. Those painting aprons so take me back, such a practical thing!
Johnson Babies says
Definitely a Monet! A fantastic grasp- both for painting and of imagination.
Two of Everything says
Ooh that's very good!
Emma says

donna bird says
That is a fab painting, I think you have a budding artist on your hands x
Erica Price says
Matisse I think – something about the shapes and the colours. He's taking it very seriously isn't he?
Nikki Thomas says
Very impressive! I love it when their random drawing and painting suddenly becomes something recognisable.
cookiejarlife says
he is a very clever boy for his age π
jenny paulin says

Notmyyearoff says
Great choice for pic of the week!

I vote Monet – nice soft brushstrokes! I like the bigger plant or tree he's included!
Susan says
He has a very natural eye. Monet for my mon-ey
