First up, we have a religious piece that was drawn in Sunday School. This piece came to the curator's attention when the Sunday School teacher called her downstairs to admire the artist's work while laughing hysterically.
An unconventional approach to the story of Mary washing Jesus' feet makes this piece raise many theological questions: Why is Jesus laying on the ground? Why are His hands so big? Is He supposed to look like Kermit?
"This is Mary washing Jesus' feet. I drew it with pencils." said The Artist. "I drew it because I had to."
This next piece was the subject of some controversy in The Artist's home, when it was mistaken for both a goat and a unicorn and also some sort of unicorn-goat hybrid.
"I drawed this one with a pen," said The Artist. "It is a dog and not any of those other stupid things. It has a little tiny pointy tail and it has a fuzzy chin."
We will let The Artist speak for herself with the next piece:
"This is a cat in pajamas and it hates the music. This is marker on purple construction paper. I picked purple construction paper because I couldn't find white paper, of course."
"I think," she added, "That the cat is listening to music that Papa picked out."The final piece is haunting in both its execution and its subject matter. The Curator thinks that it represents The Artist's fears over the destruction of the environment and its resulting impact on animal life.
"This is a red robin," said The Artist. "It has a sad look on its face. That is because it is sad."Stay tuned for such future exhibits as Spontaneous Interpretive Dance In Hardware Store and A Bunch Of Cut-Up Paper Is ART, Mom.

What talent! Uninhibited, vibrant and original. Surely an artist only starting to come into her own.
BTW, I really think Mary is tickling His feet.
I can relate to that cat! Hehehe...love the expression on its face!
Thanks you, Beck. A good museum visit always clears the palate (and palette).
=)
This is the best post ever. The baby should always do this!
You and The Baby make my life richer and more entertaining.
Mary doesn't look too pleased to be washing Jesus' feet. They must have been filthy.
That is one cool cat. Loving the art exhibition. Please do more!
What is it about piles of cut up bits of paper? This was a lovely exhibit and I will have to visit this gallery again.
;)
I love The Baby.
(My word verification is LAVEGOLO. Perhaps Mary is washing Golo's feet.)
I've been a fan of this artist since I saw her first exhibit, that you so kindly linked us to so that we could enjoy it all over again.
I knew that was a dog when I saw it. I said to myself as I scrolled down, "It's a dog!" And so apparently I am one with the spirit of the artist.
And that cat is just amazing. Really. I'd frame that and hang it over the sofa in a heartbeat.
Do you know that you can make amazing calendars at Snapfish.com? You can use this original artwork for the pages on each month. It might make a lovely grandparent gift for the artist's relatives.
Fabulous! When can we expect a sale? Though I guess it would be somewhat damaging to my own artist to see another artist's work shown in our home...
Brava! Mabel and I both enjoyed this immensely.
I LOVE this! Child art is so awesome. My mom saved all of the things I did as a kid and a teenager, and I have started saving my daughter's work too. I love her explanations of the art. Too cute!
The robin haunts me with its existential angst. A single tear rolls down my cheek.
I bow silently to the artistry of the Artist.
The baby and her art make me smile and smile and smile.
What I love almost as much as the artwork is the artist's explanations of each piece. It has a sad look on its face. That is because it's sad. Priceless!
Thanks for making my day a whole lot brighter!
snort!
THis is aw-some.
Worthy of the Guggenheim.
I love the artist's explanations, especially when she says, "I drew it because I had to." Like someone forced her to do it at gunpoint.
Loved this so much. Kid art is one of my favourite things and I love to take those creations and frame them to be displayed around the house. It's just so darn thrifty!
Oh, and I totally thought that was a dog.
:o)
The robin is my favorite :-) ... go on baby, I loved the exhibition!
Great idea! Love seeing a creative mind work and gain success!!!!!! Hope it continues to grow!
regards.

Awesome. I especially liked the subtle dig at her father's musical taste.
I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it all afterwards? I used to pack up a stack for each of them at the end of the year and store it in the attic. We have enough paper up their to bring the roof down.
