An emerging artist!

Oliver suddenly started drawing this week. After hearing the dreaded silence for quite a while, I went looking for him. He called out "I've just been drawing on my Tootle that I found for a few minutes!" By which he meant the Magnadoodle that emerged from under some pile. I happened to have the camera nearby and I snapped a few pictures as he quickly drew and erased and drew and erased. I was surprised that with no apparent background he's quickly getting across what he wants to.

"This is me lying on my bed"


"Captain Hook in his pirate ship"


"A robot - see his arms and legs?"


"This is a really fast racecar"


"This is a slug looking backward"


"This is a man who just saw a spider and he's saying 'Oooooo!'"


Some rocket ships he drew for Amelia's alien picture

OMG! He's BRILLIANT!!!! I love his artistic eye...keep em coming! I, like Bubbe, like the slug looking backwards and the guy saying OOOOOOO because he saw a spider. I also say "OOOOOOO" when I see a spider! :)

i also vote for "slug looking backward" and "OOOOOO a spider", but maybe that's my invertebrate bias speaking. what is the slug looking at, we wonder.
