Josh the artist

Since we studied the painter Jacob Lawrence for Black History month in February Josh has been on a painting frenzy. He even ask for new paints in his easter basket because he was running out. I put up an art gallery on a wall in our hall that I titled The Gallery with the Wright Art. He laughed and told me I was funny for using our name that way on the blog and now the art gallery wall. I have "hung" some of his paintings there and need to put up a few more. I'll take pictures and post one. Last night he came to me as I was posting on the blog all excited about a GREAT idea. He wants to take half of his closet and make it his art studio. He went through our bookshelves and grabbed any art book he could find and ask if he could put them in his studio. He wants to "hang" paintings, his and other famous artists, on the walls. He was lamenting the fact though that he is short of something to paint on. His dad told him we had plenty of paper and Josh responded that his material of choice is cardboard which we are in short supply of unfortunately. I had to laugh and thought Jacob Lawrence would be proud.
