I captured the photo after reading Chris Orwig's Visual Poetry book. If you haven't read it, it's a must! After I uploaded the print to Flickr, the photographer/author, himself, commented that he "loved" this "No Faces" shot--specifically the moment and colors. How cool is that?! A poster-sized version hangs on Nicholas's bedroom wall.
About the photo:
You will notice that a three-year-old Nicholas is standing in his "house." This was the first time that I realized my little guy may have artistic ability. Perhaps one day he will join the ranks of 3-d Street Painter, Tracy Lee Stum. For now, I am enjoying his pretty accurate diagrams of our house, roller coasters, animals, and various locations around town.
And when he uses chalk as his medium, I actually take pleasure is scrubbing his knees.
Check out other captures at I Heart Faces this week here.

Ooooh love this! Love his yellow converses too!
And his depiction of your home looks very much like Neverland or a theme park! Gorgeous kid!
Love the chalk on his paints - it's all very Jackson Pollock!
How cool that the author commented on your pic! I LOVE it! And the colors are awesome! This one looks like a winner to me! :)

Oh, I too love children's art. Thanks for the reference to Visual Poetry. I will have to check that out.
