So he sketched inside that church,
and outside this cathedral:

| From spain |
He sketched while I waited in line outside the Palace;
 |
| From spain |
while I checked the map;
 |
| From spain |
when he didn’t want to forget the colours;
 |
| From spain |
and while everyone else ate lunch.
 |
| From spain |
Was he sketching the surroundings or doing, I don’t know, Star Wars doodles?
a combination…we have a lot of reproductions from art galleries, and stained glass windows and general churchiness, but also an intricate caveman world
These photos are beautiful and what a terrific thing for him to have his head stuck into, instead of a nintendo…..
Head down and completely focused. That looks like a calling rather than just a hobby.
you are spot on there. ..we’ve even started having to make the sketchbooks because he can’t find just the right ones in the shops
Oh wow, that’s so gorgeous. And impressive. I agree with peppermintpatcher – that looks like a calling. You must feel mos proud when you look at those pics.
I love it. It’s almost as good as watching him read which he does with as much intensity. It’s one of the unexpected delights of being a mum. I had no idea.
By ‘right ones’, do you mean landscape-orientation ones? I started making those because I could never find them in the shops, and now friends get me to make them for them. Or do they have to have the right kind of paper?
Also they need to be a particular size which is small enough to fit in your pocket and be held in your hand, but big enough to draw certain things…also unlined which is not so easy in a notepad (especially when your mum is more word focussed than drawings)
That second last one is so Jeffry Smart. Lovely that your boy wants to draw!
