“Art is not so much expressing oneself, as it is discovering oneself.” – Anawanitia
An afternoon of fingers stuck and smeared in paint and other things.
A true artist digs deep for inspiration, plucks a small piece from his soul and flicks it onto canvas.
If he makes whatever he harvests from his nose part of his art, it will sell.
It’s definitely, definitely original artwork. I caught a cold after handling it.
I <3 <3 <3 this!
I like him, too. He’s pretty cute.
Someday, this is going to be like one of those naked crotch shots my mom took of me in the bathtub………..
Now I’m so curious it’s going to KILL me! I will definitely save this for future blackmailing purposes. I have a few other shots I snuck when he decided to prance about the house in mom’s pointy toed ankle boots. If you have never seen a mini hooker in a polo shirt you are really missing something
He’s so cute and getting SO big!
Extra cute and EXTRA EXTRA BIG. We just bought him new winter clothes. By the time they arrived in the mail he needed at least a size bigger. Poor kid’s already the size of an average 5/ 6-year-old
That last one is too cute with the way he has his hand and wrist twisted.
That’s a pretty sassy hand isn’t it?
Too cute!! I can’t wait until my nephew is old enough to start playing with paint!
He really just got into all the painting and coloring. I love that he loves it. It’s nice to get the occasional break from wrestling or couch jumping!
You can pick your nose, but you can’t pick a Picasso nose (because it’s so hard to find in his portraits!).
I just pictured Picasso trying to pick his nose. Mental Image HILARITY!
I’ve heard of putting yourself into your art, but I think he’s going a bit far! Unless he’d run out of green. ( EW!
)
Hahaha. It’s dedication is what it is, John. The kid’s artistic dreams know no bounds.
LMAO! Yet again, a breath of fresh air after a myriad of challenging student essays. (Although I don’t seem to be the only one breathing easy. hehehe)
Maybe I would have finished my dissertation faster if I would have only followed Thomas’s method!
Hahahaha. Yes, when in doubt, pick yo nose, sucka. It helps clear the mind, I hear.
So did he paint with the booger too?
Oh yeah. It’s stuck in a red/ blue/ yellow swirl in all its crusty glory
I might have to give the painting away on the blog.
Hear, hear! I agree that art is about discovering oneself.
LOL! But it looks like your little fella discovered more than himself, artistically.
I meant to tell you… sorry you had trouble leaving a comment on my blog. I’ll report it to my comment provider, Disqus.com. Thanks!
Thanks! Just wanted you to know I read and loved the idea. Really cool concept for a post!
Just like a three-year-old to take things too far
Ahhaha, hilarious, I foresee years of successful bribery at the hands of these pictures! And you are hereby obligated to unveil this last gem at his wedding!!
He was digging for treasure for sure. I was snapping away, picture after picture to document his fingerpainting genius and then, just simply, it was booger hunting time
I’m still chuckling, Tori. However, you may be missing the boat here. See what else sells: http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Picky-Picky-Posters_i328932_.htm
Hahahaha. I like that kid. I think I could definitely be friends with that kid
Pretty sure that last picture proves he’s a genius artist in the making because artists aren’t shy about expressing themselves, even if the world doesn’t quite understand.
He’s a cute kid!
Awesome point! Really this post is a shameless attempt to make light of the fact that I let my kid pick his nose. I could teach him not to, teach him a little about personal hygeine and manners, but that would be stifling his artistic flame, right?
A good artist knows how to give his art some texture. A good artist ‘picks’ his colors wisely. Yep, your son is well on his way
Right? Sure he looks like the average kid, just picking for booger gold, but I’m sure there is some deep, artistic reasoning behind his methods
Mixed-media assemblage! NICE!!!
Haha. That was probably EXACTLY what the little prodigy was thinking as he picked his nose: “Mixed-media assemblage! I pick for art’s sake!”.
Reblogged this on gailelleandlaurenelizabeth's Blog.
Thanks for sharing!
That piece is snot bad at all!
You are a punny, punny man, Mark.
That’s my sweet boy! Goodness, Thomas! Again, I didn’t get an email about your post. Stumbled upon this on FB. Grrrrrrrrrr
Hugs,
Kathy
Oh no! I’m not sure why my subscription thinger majig is messed up. I’d probably know how to fix it if I didn’t refer to all tech stuff as thinger majig
Ha, T, that is just plain awesome. He’s gonna love you for posting this in about 20 years!!
Looks like he’s painting the inside of his nose. I think he missed a spot.
Oh no. He did not miss ONE spot. Trust
We had a pretty painful hour with a few Q-tips and scrub brushes after than little painting endeavor!
