There was another piece of art that really caught my eye.
This was painted by a seven year old boy.
The little boy and his brother were living with just their Dad. Well, a couple of years ago the earth mover (bulldozer?) he was driving on a mountain slope turned over and killed him. The boys are now being raised by their grand parents...who by the way are doing a wonder full job.
I will now post a few of the other entries in the local art show without commentary.
These by the way are hand carved fish that are stocked in our area lakes and streams.
beautiful works!
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to view these pieces of art without buying one or two of them! Child's paint would be hard to resist, esp with the tragic story but kudos to the grandparents!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad story about that first painting. The others are all inpired by the surroundings I see.
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful works here... the first painting is poignant.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteWhat a touching story about that seven year boy!
Lovely art work but I guess the most intricate are those hand carved fish as they look so very realistic.
Enjoy your summer and sending you hugs,
Mariette
