Watercolor by a Five Year Old
Five and a half, I'm sure he'd have me tell you. :-) Edited to add: Sarah Sometimescommented below on the use of perspective and I need to clarify that he did this following the exact instructions of his art teacher, whose two part-video lesson he watched twice. The painting was done in two steps, first the background and then a few days later the trees, one close and one far away. His art classes in the cyber-school are FANTASTIC! (you may remember this and that and I should post more).
I just thought I'd post this to fill the space until I find the time to write a "real" blog post. :-)
I have an artist of 5 years (almost 6) at home, my daughter, she does amazing drawings and painting and sometimes I feel she's too advanced for her age. Could you let me know where can I get access to those Cyber classes?
I'm a Brazilian immigrant (used to say expatriate, have problems with this word now), living in the U.S. since 1996 with my husband and two sons (born in March 2002 and May 2004). I'm a mother, first and foremost, -- mamãe in my mother-tongue, hence the (e) of the blog title -- but after "ten years and two sons" I finally finished my Ph.D. in literature in 2008. After six years away from teaching (including a year home/cyber schooling my sons - 2009-10), I'm finally back in higher-education. I've been blogging here for eleven years, so welcome to my site and feel free to stay for a while and look around. Our lives are a roller coaster, never lacking in ups and downs! ;-)

As Kate said above, still pretty impressive, even with instructions.
Thanks for your comment over at my place--I've responded to it over there.
