Max the artist

Until very recently, Max had shown almost no interest in drawing. He had other things to do, like create train wrecks with his toy trains or build lego vehicles. Or ride his bike. Really, anything but drawing. Drawing was Claire's domain.

A few weeks ago, Max checked a book out of his school library that changed all that. The book was full of elaborately drawn mazes- each maze was part of a story about a crime solving kid chasing some robbers.  Max LOVED the book and immediately started drawing mazes!  He always made a start and an end, and wanted me to follow them. This got a little old after a while (some days he'd draw ten mazes in a sitting, some days more).  Here is one of his last mazes, done yesterday:


Well, I guess he finally got tired of drawing mazes because today he started drawing people! And they're wonderful people with lots of fingers and spiky hair!  I just had to share.
