A kindergartner could do that!


I was doing some sketching over at my sister's this weekend and stepped away from the kitchen table for a minute. My kindergarten-aged nephew took advantage of the semi-blank sheet of paper I left out. Well, I had begun my own little sketch on that sheet, but he was able to finish it in a much more inspiring way. My sister and I, both being very artsy and teacherly, quickly analyzed his great artwork.

I couldn't help but make connections to the streetscapes of the artist Egon Shiele. I was fortunate enought to visit many of them up close when I was in Vienna last month at the Leopold Museum.
