Untitled, Number 2 (2009) by GarrettNotice the insightful intertwining of crayon, chalk, and masking tape, his carefully chosen mediums:
Detail of Untitled, Number 2When I look at Garrett's abstract drawings, I am reminded of Jackson Pollock's work:
Autumn Rhythm, Number 30 (1950) by Jackson PollockNow, please don't take what I just said to mean that I believe that Jackson Pollock has the artistic skills of a two-year-old. Because he most certainly doesn't. But I'm not going to stop my two-year-old from imitating a master. Which is why, on a trip to Ikea over the weekend, we picked up an easel for Garrett.
He loves it.

Someday you should consider something like this: http://www.finedoodles.com (Actually owned by a friend of mine.) I think they're awesome.
Love his creation!!!!!!
I checked that website Tianna posted and those look amazing.
I was at Ikea for the first time ever this weekend, had to travel 2 hours in order to get to it but it was all worth it and I saw these too - on sale - I was tempted to get one for my son but I chickened and didn't. :)
I bet he does!! Those pictures at the easel are darling!
i love those easels. Draw little Garrett, draw! How fun and what a cutie!
I do too... love it. What a smile :)
It may not take as much talent as what Garrett displays, but Eric recently planned for our FHE activity a few minutes at www.jacksonpollock.org. If you haven't been there, you should check it out.
The Ikea easels are a steal. Every kid should have one.
I like how he threw in the masking tape. He's really pushing the limits of his medium.
I had an easel when I was little too. I was always sneaking into my room when Brittany was taking a nap in there to draw on it or to get my chalk. I'm definetely no artist now, but I think Garrett has more creativity than I did.
You definitely have a creative two-year-old! I love all your stories and pictures of the adventures you share with your boys. Thanks for your helpful comments as well concerning my own little one. You're so awesome Lindsay!
he is truely an artist.
I should give some big paper for drawing to Michiru too!
Cool and artsy! Have you tried to do an outline of him? We did one of Liam one day that turned out great. We had so much fun with it. I had him look for all the right colored crayons that matched his clothing, shoes and hair. So funny!
