Has my son got it?

[wickle]

My son has just painted photo below, in many ways it potrays the way how I felt after my wife walked out on us a couple of years ago. does in your opion have talent enough to pay for a course for him to follow his dream,

[Skyryder]

Of course he does................but just make sure he knows the difference between dreams and nightmares.

Yeah. I'd say he has the psyche to fit in well at art school.

[Hitcher]

Erm, how old is your son?

[wickle]

sixteen in years thinks he's older

[nothingflash]

Shit no mate. My god what kind of parent are you... most of his colouring in is way outside the lines :niceone:

[pzkpfw]

I say "not great, but good".

And who knows how much further he'd go?

So then I say "go for it". Life's too short not to follow a dream or two.

(I also say this as someone who's Daughter wants to "do art" at University... see Avatar...)

Spend the money on counselling instead.

EDIT: As to your question - he can draw/paint, better than me anyway. But he seems..... unhappy. Perhaps you should have that seen to.

Save your money. You'll need to spend it on counselling. Or lawyers.

[SPORK]

Without sounding too pretentious - it's rather pedestrian.

If it original then he got some talent, if he copied from somewhere he’s got a good eye.
It’s the idea he has managed to put on paper that’s the cool thing, we know what he is trying to show

You pay for a course…… that’s a hard question
How about you buy him some descent white tee-shirts and some of that special paint that don’t wash out and get him to design something to sell.
That way if he has the drive to create you will see it here and he can make some money to… Bet his mates would buy one
This will show you if it’s a worthwhile cause

Better yet maybe get him to design the anti ACC tee-shirts (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=109897) that scracha thinking about

[imdying]

The execution seems nice, but the idea isn't an original one... maybe art school is just what he needs to explore his own directions?

Is it just me or does the right leg look like a honkin' great interracial weenie...

What are dads for, if not to encourage their kids to follow their dreams?

[Forest]

Your son has been spending too much time over at gurochan.

dam nice man he sure does

[The Pastor]

just what we need more of, artists!

[TOTO]

Send him to art school, allow him to follow his dream. He may even appreciate it one day.

edit: I think we can use his painting in the ACC levy campaign. How much for the painting ?

[Zerker]

have you got any other examples of his work?
if this is something he has a passion for there should be one or two.

the painting is "nice", rather simple and also remarkably simmilar to alot of imagry online.
encourage yes, pay for a course based on one painting? no.
