Art critics pointed out that children hardly ever draw that way. So I guess at age 5 he hadn't yet learned how to paint like a child.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-29723543324830136332017-07-04T09:00:27.715-04:002017-07-04T09:00:27.715-04:00Oh, and Picasso said, "It took me 4 years to ...Oh, and Picasso said, "It took me 4 years to paint like Raphael and a lifetime to paint like a child."Vickie Wheatleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532115379430375034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-13387261926623317512017-07-04T08:57:30.141-04:002017-07-04T08:57:30.141-04:00Nice composition and variety of texture.
