While Spencer’s way into the iPad these days, Maxwell is way into drawing. He’ll spend 2 hours in the afternoon at the table with plain paper and his markers just making picture after picture. I love it.
I love how creative he is. I never tell him what to draw or how to draw it and I love seeing what he comes up with. Considering he’s not quite 4.5, I think they’re pretty darn good! Some of his recent masterpieces…
A tiger – of course. We’re still pretty obsessed with big cats around here and he draws a lot of tigers, lions, jaguars, etc…
Our house – notice the garage! – with all of us inside…
A construction site complete with orange cones at the bottom and “asphalt”. I love how the hard hats sit up above the worker’s heads!…
A picture of himself and Robert…this obviously made Robert ridiculously happy!
A belated Christmas scene – note the chimney with Santa at the top. I love how he ran out of room to write his name so just wrote the “well” on top of the “max!”…
An “army man” complete with a hunting gun shooting a deer! eek! Notice the red spot on the deer’s leg where he shot him! Not really sure where this idea came from since Robert isn’t a hunter but…it’s still good regardless! I do like the green and gray camo clothes…
Him riding his blue and orange bike, complete with orange helmet…
Dinosaurs around an exploding volcano! That’s a “long-neck-a-saurus”, a T-Rex, and a “tromp-a-saurus!”…
He had told me he wanted pictures of “big cats” for his room so I looked and looked all over Etsy to find some that would work. I did order some but then decided that his “big cats” are better than any picture I could buy so I just hung two of his. I think he was pretty proud to see his own artwork on the wall!
Love my little artist!
