Artist at work

I sent Mountain Boy for a trial art class last friday. I was told to leave the classroom 15 into the lesson and that sent all kinds of warning signals to my mind. I was worried that he may cry, or wet his pants etc...school has been tough enough on him. So I sat outside the claSsroon jittery for the next 45mins wondering if I'd get a phonecall from the art teacher.

45 minutes later I went into the room again and saw this little guy wearing an apron that ran all the way down to his shoes, busy doodling with his 10 fingers and 2 palms. He merely looked up at me to show me his maroon palms and then continued to work on his masterpiece. Considering how at school he is usually the first to rush out of the classroom to hug me, this came as a shock.

The teacher commented that he was very experimental in his brushwork and use of paint. At the end of the lesson I had a tough time bringing him out of the room, which I guess is a good thing right.
