The end of the year clean out continues and I keep on finding little gems amongst the crumpled papers and pencil stubs.
This week the featured artist is Max and he is all for the big clean out. He likes things to be just so and is a firm believer in clean hands. Mind you his hands may be clean, but he's not up to washing his face. More often than not he'll wear a charming goatee of chocolate ice cream long after the ice cream cone is finished.
Of course he looks all sparkly clean here while he mans the hose.
As for the art, it's watercolor he made at some point during the school year. Most likely it was done towards the end of the year, I'll have to ask him tomorrow.
As watercolors are wont to do, the picture itself has a rather abstract feel. There is the traditional sun jammed up in the upper left corner and what I think is a cardinal fliting across the top of the page. The rest of the picture is a bit of a mystery. Knowing Max and his predilection for turtles I would hazard that the greenish blog with the black eye dot to the left of the brown streak (tree trunk?) is in fact a turtle.
Either way it's a rather cheerful piece of art. I like the colors and how for once Max filled the page. He tends towards making tiny little figures that get lost in all the empty space.
