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.

MP - can you tell us a bit about the paints/materials, etc - think this is very cool, and would like to let my little one loose in a couple of months. She's 13 months, and any artistic talent she has will have to be sui generis (ponciness handed down from my side, natch). Go on - give us a toddler abstract painting boot camp...

pmsl at the thread title mp. also at the massive arses and three chins. photography is something else that bugs me a bit. I see some superb stuff (I come from a family of photographers so kind of know a bit) but I see some truly awful stuff where the "composition" is just accidental. Like I said on the other thread space is amazing. would you auction it? seriously? how about a mumsnet art auction for charity?

DD just does everything brown she mixes it all up so we have pages and pages of green/brown sludge

(My recipes are dull as hell )

tee heeh oooh no I couldn't part with them REALLY

not now she is in her rubbish literal phase

Habbibu: I bought some canvases from my local painting shop (about 3-6 quid each) and lots of acrylic paints. That's about it really. I did it in the kitchen to avoid ruining the lounge. Just used any old brushes.

The only thing I "guided" was that I taught her to cover up ALL the white i.e. cover the canvas with paint.

Ooh - quite excited now - and liked the idea of covering the whole canvas - it really stands out. How old was she when you started?

18 months

the triptych she did at 18 months - the canvases are slightly smaller and she churned them out really quickly, so I bought larger canvases from then on

She was my PFB OBVIOUSLY

I only realised the other day that my 2 year old can draw faces and bodies and everything now

I barely pay her ANY attention

Are you not trying to get her work on permanent display???? Place at art collage?

I have added her most recent work

It is rather more literal

Now she generally uses pen and watercolour [ponce]

No you will see she has "progressed" somewhat

Space is awesome

tisk, tisk, mp, you should have given her more support!

hehehe

well you know, the baby came along and it all went downhill

ah yes, rather like my own dear pelvic floor.

love them all.

The fairy is charming, it may be literal, but is gorgeous! Why did she put camels on the hills?

Is she early 5 or late 5???? the fairy is still bloody good

it's a christmas angel!

she was 5 last month

7.99 for space please

I want space. It would look lovely in my lounge.

you should print it out and use it as a Christmas card. My db has a bit of a talent for cartoons, and my parents always use one of his pictures as a Christmas card.

3.99 for butterflies
and I'll start the bidding on Red Picture at 2.99

I have added a Close-up of the Camel, because it is soooooo funny!!!! It is TINY TINY TINY

Why are you all bidding at .99s, you crazy ladies? That's when you want to sell, and make it look like a bargain. MP, a crisp shiny whole ten pound note for space

never mind that

what will you give me for the camel?

£10.10 for space

Am ROFLMAO at the Camel! Its like a hermaphrodite
