So we were upstairs in the cafe a couple of weeks ago (like we are most Sundays) and there was some abstract art by local artists hanging. And so with the kids we got into a discussion of modern art and some of the pieces that sold for millions despite appearing on the surface that a child could conceivably have painted them (e.g., http://www.artsumo.com/blog... ).

Now, the cafe has coloring pages that allow you to "Make your own Mondrian" and provides crayons as well. So Samuel created his own piece. We then talked about art shows and showings and the expressions on an artist's face as he or she displays their completed work. Sammy was then talked into signing his work and hanging his completed Mondrian in between the local pieces, while staring off into the middle distance.

So, therefore, I present this photograph: Young Samuel Mondrian, with his newest work, "Composition with Blue and Yellow and Green and Red 2015."
