One Man (Boy) Show.



The insides of fridges usually contain milk, cheese, eggs, etc; and the outsides invariably display children's' drawings.

This has become almost obligatory in most households, and our particular resident artist automatically places his finished works there as soon as he's discarded the last coloured pen.

The fridge has become a child's gallery. His/her very first exhibition space; no questions asked, but highly admired!

What have you been saying in front of that child? The fire one seems to have a lot of lines of thought going through it.

Cro Magnon said...

Everything he draws is on fire... I'm beginning to worry!

Ursula said...

Funny how we see what we "see". I didn't see "fire" until Rachel mentioned it. What I did see was a drooping flower (maybe a tulip?). That the vase is a house I took as the artist's poetic licence.

Interesting fridge magnets you have.

Souvenirs from Kos, Rome, Gothenburg, and Australia.

Sue said...

Our fridge door is pristine, devoid of any artwork or magnets. Rather sad really. Maybe I could put some Rick paw prints up there.

The first thing I saw was ‘ fire ‘ !!! Maybe all the images of the Australian fires earlier in the year has stuck with him. I expect in a while it will be something else ! You are lucky to have some if your family with you ...... we are all isolating so who knows when we will all see family and friends. Take care Cro and Lady M and family. XXXX

Cro Magnon said...

I think I prefer a plain fridge door, but with Boo Boo around, I'm outvoted.

Cro Magnon said...

Yes, it would be very sad if we didn't have them here; we're lucky. Boo Boo and Lady M are cake making today. Gorgeous day here.

Not long ago I bought more and more fridge magnets, they grew slightly and there is no need today.

Cro Magnon said...

Ours just seem to 'appear'. I don't know who puts them there.

He uses very happy colours. His drawings must brighten your kitchen .

JayCee said...

I wonder where he got his talent from?

Cro Magnon said...

THey certainly brighten the fridge.

Cro Magnon said...

From his grandmother!

Yorkshire Pudding said...

No, not grandmama! It is easy to see that your grandson has in fact inherited his grandfather's artistic ability because the style is spookily identical! Are you sure you didn't produce those pictures yourself?

I'm buoyed by the fact that even though the volcano spewed fire on the house, there are still happy flowers in the yard! -Jenn

Cro Magnon said...

If only I could. His style and technique is far superior to mine.

Cro Magnon said...

A bit of everything; pleasure and pain.

The Weaver of Grass said...

For many artists their first exhibition was on the fridge!

Cro Magnon said...

I'm sure you're right; to critical acclaim.

There’s been a lot of news from NASA about near earth objects.

Gwil said...

Looks like one landed on a house. I have rival artworks from 4 year old next door. He came round with a Treasure Map he’d drawn. It looks like an octopus. And some bits of wood he’d glued together. I think it’s an airplane. And another drawing I’m still trying to fathom. He was trying to cheer me up as he’d heard of my painful little accident (ribs) on the tram.

Gwil said...

Some great kids aren’t there?

A lovely first gallery.
