Art Lessons from a 6 Year Old

He is a good teacher, patient and kind to his mom who can't draw nearly as well as he does.  He has always loved to draw. From the first time he could hold a pencil (around age 2) he always held it the right way, not in a fist like a lot of kids.  Not a day goes by that he doesn't sit down to draw something.  If he watches a movie,  he stays up after to draw something he saw in it.  Whenever we go on a trip I have to be sure to pack pads of paper and colored pencils or he'll be drawing on
something in my purse.  He is very detail oriented and always draws something specific, like a humpback whale or a star nosed mole or a battle between the French and the British.  I wish I had that kind of talent and concentration.  This picture is of him showing me how to draw a sperm whale and giant squid.
