This piece, uniquely titled "Explojinations," is by Will, age 7, from Stafford, VA. He created it when he was just five years old and it now hangs in a prominent spot in the family living room. I'll let his stepmom, Edie, explain the rest.
"When Will was 5, he created this in art class. He told us the 'guy' on the right was a firefighter and there was a battle going on with lots of 'explojinations.' He's never been a violent kid, but he loves to play battle games. So, in a way, I was glad to see him turn his passion into something, um, a bit more creative! :)"
The two pieces below are by Claire of Fredericksburg, VA, also 7. She created the first sketch at the ripe young age of 20 months and when asked what it was, promptly replied, "Moon and Stars!" (With a bit of a "duh" in her expression, I'm sure.)
The second piece below is untitled and hangs in the office of proud aunt Edie (stepmom to Will, above.)Claire drew it as a gift for Edie at about age four. Again, Edie with a little back-story on the piece:
"(Claire) has always been a free spirit, into fairies, wizards, princesses and the whole concept of 'Never Never Land.' I feel like the piece has a "think outside the box" feel to it, which is so totally Claire. I don't recall her explaining it to me, but I've always liked the colors so it's framed in my office.''Wouldn't the world be a happier place if we all had something like this framed in our offices?
Thank you, Aunt Edie, for sending us these wonderful works of art! We look forward to seeing more from Will and Claire!
