Bad news

July 20, 2011

Jax:  Mommy, I have bad news for you.

Me:  What?!

Jax:  Someone stole my pictures.

Me:  No!!!

Jax:  I don’t know who would have done it.

Me:  Maybe Moose?

Jax:  Yeah, probably.

Addenda

1)     Jax is not artistic.  When he shows me a drawing, I usually exclaim over it because I don’t want to give him a complex or anything.  Then I ask what the picture is.  “I don’t know,” he’ll say.  I’ve tried to teach him the word “abstract,” but he still says, “I don’t know.”

2)     I think the Cleaning Fairy threw the drawings in the trash.  There were a lot of them.

3)     Moose is not artistic either.

4)     Papa thinks he’s artistic, but he’s not.  (I think they take after him.)

5)     Next week is Bean Beach Week.  The whole Bean clan is staying in the same house.  Together.   At the same time.  Even Zoro and her boyfriend.  My nerves are shot just thinking about it.

What IS this?
Anybody know WHAT this is?

What IS this?

Maybe it goes in this direction?

The first one looks like someone standing on the beach at sunset. The second one – maybe a bird playing in the grass? 🙂 Definitely abstract art though!

Becca, I’ll bet you’re very good at finding images in clouds too! 😉

I think he just has a different artistic ability! I think they’re keepers!

Bring lots of booze. Lots.

Well, it was obvious to my 5 y.o.: “It looks like a mountain and someone jumped off the mountain into the water and that looks like seaweed.”
Of course!
Guess you have to be of a certain age to really appreciate it : )

Dude – that is art, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I love the colors! As for a ton of family staying under one roof, man that gives me the heebie jeebies. Best of luck with that.

The second one looks like the head of one of those half bird creatures from Harry Potter… Or some scribbles on a page in really pretty colors. 🙂

Irene: Papa bought cheap beer. I hate cheap beer. Guess, I’ll have to go with infusions.

Minnie: Girl, you’ve got quite an imagination on you.

Kid Id: Coco is very creative!

Flying Chalupa: That was actually one of his better pieces. You aren’t, by chance related to our Mimi, are you? She likes this stuff too.

Ally: You’re being kind. It’s definitely scribbles on a page.

The correct orientation of the picture is definitely represented in the second posting. And it is an angry gryphon.

people have been know to pay big bucks for some scribbles.

Addison says “the top picture is the right one because it is a golf flag”… Addison knows best plus she is really into golf these days.

infusions first then you should have no problrm drinking the cheap beer.

I love artwork that can be hung both ways! We have an art fairy too.
