Please heap praise on my genius child

[morningpaper]

I have put her paintings on my profile.

She did all of these aged between 18 months and 3 years (she hasn't done much since because her sister was born a few days after she turned 3 and believe me, if I can't be arsed to sit down and teach her the reading words from school, I definitely am not keen enough to supervise two small children with acrylic paints).

They are all acrylic on canvas, approx. 2 foot length.

Please offer me a large cheque signed on behalf of the Saatchi gallery in exchange.

Come orf it. An elephant did those, didnt it?

Those are too good MP. Are you sure you didn't do them?

Seriously they're lovely.

Quick, get them on the For Sale board.

Or I'll swap you for a Quinny Muff?

oi it was NOT an elephant OR turtle

they do jolly up my crappy house

You've just posted this so that you can include it in the round up and ensure EVERYONE has seen them.

I totally disapprove.

But £3.50 for Space if you will.

Quinny Muff sounds good!

I'll have butterflies and picnic on the beach please

Bloody hell, mp - thought this was going to be a pisstake but really do quite love those! I particularly like space and the triptych element...

I like butterflies and space (Not that the others aren't fabulous, but I seriously do like those I'll buy anythin pretty )

Yeah, all joking aside they are really good!

Oi, Janitor - 'ands off. I'll up that £4.49.

Any chance of a BOGOF?

hehe

Space was finished off with some squirts from a car of silver car spray

A very FEW squirts because at that point it all went into slow motion as I ran across the kitchen to grab the can off her

'Tis definitely an activity you need to SUPERVISE

£5.02 for space, and will start the bidding at £3.56 for butterflies.

Will you combine postage?

(feel like I should say hun about now)

children dont colour all the sky in do they?

well this is NO GOOD

I was hoping to pay off the mortgage

I always wanted her to do a MASSIVE one but could never be bothered to drag a huge canvas back from town...

You're kidding me

Seriously, MP, they are superb. Truly superb.

You're more than right to feel proud ... but how on earth can she improve on it? That last one, in particular, is pure class.

Honestly, I'm agog!!

Just be grateful you have a mortgage, some of us rent dontcha know

splutter - £6.99 for Space and I'll hang it outside the loo.

(Flame - must chat to you about your amazing food budget sometime... hey! Is that how come you can splash out on Art?)

Ahh Desi you are lovely

Actually they are better when they are pre-literal

Once they start painting faces it all looks a bit crap

Abstract looks good though

What, your mortgage exceed £6.99? You live in a mansion, MP...

It would go in my LOUNGE!

a few years down the line?

£7.53!

Tis more exciting than ebay!

(My food budget seems to be more surprising now I am seeing it through everyone else's eyes. I am going to check this week that I am not missing out £100 somewhere I have forgotten)

They are very good indeed - mind you, my dd also does lovely pictures which are everywhere in our house, used for Christmas/birthday cards etc.

I do hate going to houses where the kid's art is not on display - some friends have one picture by each of their two kids in the kitchen - thats it.

She's taken loads of photographs as well because she's got my old digtal camera

I honestly DO think that a 4 year old's photographs would make a WONDERFUL art exhibition

Everyone is MASSIVE arses and three chins

I love love LOVE her photos

Oh, for goodness sake stripey, post your pics, you know you want to!

(Flame - gonna need a recipe breakdown too, hun! )
