Mazzy graduated from her “Messy Play” class yesterday which meant she got to take home all of her paintings (when you use a plethora of paint, they take several weeks to dry).
I took the liberty of placing Mazzy’s paintings amongst the masterpieces of some well-known modern artists— like Jackson Pollack, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Claude Monet. I would like you to GUESS WHICH WORKS OF ART ARE THOSE OF MY 19 MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER and therefore not worth several million dollars (yet).
A. Galaxy
B. Agapanthus
C. My Mother Is Beautiful
D. Black Lines No. 189
E. Abby Cadabby Roadkill
F. Number 8
G. Helles Bild
H. I Said I Don’t Want Broccoli
I. The Yellow House
I know, it’s very difficult.
I hear that the next class will be “Less Messy Play” where I’m sure she will bring home paintings that look like this:
And if she’s really talented, like this:
The Rothko above entitled “Disproportionate and Wrongfully Colored Oreo Cookie” sold for $73 million in 2007.
Which just goes to show you that there are two kinds of painters in this world. Those who get rich and those who get to jump to their heart’s content on a mini-trampoline.
Welcome to Messy Play Graduation:
Come on, art critics/acrobats of the world, is my baby talented or what???

Maybe I should do a “Toddler Gallery” post? Email me your kids’ best work of art to myshort@mommyshorts.com.
I’ll just give this a stab.
Mazzy’s is….C?
I’m going right out to get some paint, paper and an easel. I’ve got this.

I’m going with E, C, and H. which of course spells Ech…. but that is in no way how I feel about Mazzy’s obviously stellar drawing skills.
Frame those puppies and hang ’em up – rich NYC folk won’t know the difference.
I think hers is E.
I love that picture at the end! So cute!
i second the c, e, and h.
EEEEEE!!!!!
C or E. Right? And judging by that last picture she didn’t have any fun there. At. All.
Seriously, a black mat and a stainless steel frame – pick your splat o’ the month and hang it up! No one will ever suspect…
C, E, and H! Gorgeous! Love the intensity in E.
C, E, H! That’s great. I did a post about my son’s artwork too, in the class he took they were trying to copy the masters. http://bit.ly/fvMvIt
I think C, E, and H. The titles were a hint =)
I think you should start securing an agent for her. I hear Carine Roitfeld’s son represents just one artist each year…
Hmmm..selling kid art…possible way to make money? (insert evil laugh) Gotta go with E…but it really could be any of them!
Cropping is like magic!
I actually added the titles after the first few comments. Turns out, it was a pretty easy game so I thought I’d step up the humor:)
Love how you aim high! Of course, Mazzy would only accept a rep if she were their exclusive client.
Whatever works, right? I will pimp this child out til she pays for her college!
I cannot tell you how much I love this post. Brilliant idea.
Well beautiful Mazzy, I think E for the win, you talented child you. 🙂
Excellent titles btw.
Hi, I came across your blog and it’s SO awesome! I love the layout and your daughter is super cute!
Yeah – until I read the titles, I totally thought C was fine art.
Frame that shit.
E. E. EEEEEEEE. lol Beautiful artwork!
