The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 18, 2021

Eddie, did you really think . . . No, obviously you didn’t.

On the plus side, that’s not bad. And it’s upstairs, where casual guests won’t see it. You might want to consider keeping this one. Assuming, of course, that you can do so without encouraging more unauthorized murals.

Maybe, to encourage him to express his talent in a slightly more appropriate manner, you should buy him a drafting board, or even a light table!

Oh wait! If you do that he might grow up to be a cartoonist . . . and no one would wish that on their child!

My wife paid a fair amount for a wall decal a lot like this.

Great artist, good painting. The kid has promise.

I’d keep it. it is beautiful!

Looks like a school mural. :)

“Why, no! Have you heard of our new ‘clean up your own mess’ policy?”

Nice job!

nice try but…not sure you will get the “release part”.

Eddie has talent as an artist, he also has a talent for getting in trouble

Sure, but it’s the “catching” part you won’t like…

Most parents put their children’s artwork on the frig.

His mom should get a roll of butcher paper and mount it on the wall where he likes to do his art. That way her wall stays clean and she can roll up and store his artworks to enjoy later.

No. But I do like the artwork…..

I let my daughter paint her room and the upstairs area when she was a teenager…she painted a vine with leaves and flowers going around the upstairs area…sometimes it’s ok to let the kids go…
