Not my favorite painting style but he is remarkable!

I appreciate the distinct style and talent! It is not the type of art that I would hang in my own home, but I enjoy it.

 

[GliderPoss]

Agreed, not my style but I can appreciate his talent at such as young age.

i'd rather have a picture my cat painted on the wall but mine dont seem to be artistly inclined

It’s giving Picasso… very mature content for a 10 year old. I love it and could see incorporating a smaller piece into my home.

Had the exact same thought - Picasso. It is creative and edgy.

I can’t decide whether it is my style. My initial reaction was no, but I am trying to push my artistic boundaries, so now I’m thinking maybe….

I think it's nice to have parents with connections in the art world.
