As a graduated teacher of Fine Arts [and a child at heart!] I have always been interested in children's art. Their imagination is something what adults sometimes try to copy, but it never works. It needs this specific abstract imagination hidden only in brains of very young artists. Often kids who can produce amazing pieces of art lose their talent once they are grown up. Most of the time their can not even remember that they used to draw and were pretty good at that. Shame... It is nice to have something more to remember.
Oscar drew the Lion when he was about 5. At that time I made the sweater with the Lion embroidered on it. Now, seven years later, I made him a present - a pillow with his Lion embroidered in bright colours, as it was drown years ago. It did bring a broad smile to his face. He still remembers that Lion...
