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.

get off my Space picture! Stay behind the ROPE.

The camel is great isn't it?! She said "Mummy, I drew a giraffe, and then gave it humps."

Bah!

I'm a woman on a budget dontcha know!

Habbibu · 26/11/2007 21:41

Will do you a complex deal for a series of Christmas cards on the angel and camels. And £11 for spaced, mp. The others will just give you a pocketful of loose change, MP. I am the real deal, and if I knew how to change my name I would be HabbiSatchi or HabbiTate... Ooh...

Habbibu · 26/11/2007 21:41

Space - not spaced. Gah.

Walnutshell · 26/11/2007 21:45

Sob... I can see Space is not meant to be mine! Oh you fancy middle class lot with your crisp tenners, shiny ten-pees and art-buying expertise...

I suppose I could put one of ds's pieces up... One of his lesser pieces you understand... Any takers?

blueshoes · 26/11/2007 21:45

camels are a scream! true genius

Habbibu · 26/11/2007 21:49

Walnut, I suppose it's quite good. Will give you a shiny 50p for it.

Walnutshell · 26/11/2007 21:51

Sold to the lady in the fur coat!

Thanking you everso everso much, kind madam, your most generous silvery offering will help pay for the gruel we need for child number 14

Habbibu · 26/11/2007 21:57

Oh, you have jerked my heartstrings. Have a silver sixpence and take them out of the chimneys for an hour or so.

morningpaper · 26/11/2007 22:02

I hope you're not being sarcastic on my thread about my genius and most amazingly talented and gifted child

now where can I get a free summer camp?

Don't worry MP - you always get the jealous ones who try to belittle you

Habbibu · 26/11/2007 22:05

No, heavens, no, MP . Was just trying to make Walnut feel better about her DS's below par offering.

Flamesparrow · 26/11/2007 22:06

The more I look at them, the more they would make great Christmas cards.

What the abstracts? Naaah

I want to turn the angel into a christmas card

Or just the camel

Who could fail to be full of christmas cheer to see that lovely camel?

It is too poncy to use your own child's pictures for christmas cards?

God, MP, those are Far Too Good to be in an exhibition.. only cruddy old shite gets exhibited, don't you know anything, you Culture Philistine!!

Flamesparrow · 26/11/2007 22:08

The angel and the camel

The camel could be the signature piece like the grr argh zombie on mutant enemy productions

No She says she won't actually sell Space or Butterflies

Walnutshell · 26/11/2007 22:09
