All I did was add the blue eyes, her art_work.JPG.

I think it looks like a mother taking care of a sick child. As she wasn't feeling well that day, it was pretty relevant. :D

I wonder what mechanism it is inside parents that makes them all think thier kid is the next picasso, even though all he/she is able to do is scribble all over the place with a red marker.

Love.

Perhaps you'll experience it some day.

Perhaps not.

Not that I really have an opinion one way or the other, but anyone remember that website where the guy posts scathing, explitive-laden criticisms of kids' artwork that parents put on their desks? For some reason, this thread just reminded me of it.

I like the pic, btw. :)

Relax.

Are you saying you don't see anything in the pic?

Oh man....that was hilarious. I'll have to go find it. :D

EDIT: Found it.

notfred seems to hate pretty much everything anyway, so I wouldn't hold out too much hope that love might exist in his black heart. :D

I'm not angry... I'm relaxed.

As far as seeing anything in the pic, I made my best attempt to remove your "adjustments" to the picture and restore it to the original work of the "artist". Here's the pic

And, no I don't see anything in the pic. It might be good for use on one of those tests where they show you ink blots and ask what it looks like...

Also, I don't hate everything. I'm jsut more open with what I think than most people. I'm sure there's plenty of other people who just think it looks like scribbles, but don't want to say so because they're afraid they'll sound like they're being mean to a baby.

Well, you may think it's the Madonna and Child, like msot parents would, but as an objective third party, I think it looks like scribbles :p

Well, I'm a skeptic--I think it's just coincidence, and that you have a good eye to see the right spot to put the eyes. And I'm guessing you agree.

that said, it's cool and a keeper, and thanks for sharing. Was fun to look at.

Can definately see the 2 people there, but I think you put the kids eyes on the stomach.

Coincidence, absolutely.

I'm an artist myself, so "finding" something so profound (to me) in my daughters scribbles is beautiful. :D

Mom (or dad) is the artist here, not the kid. However, it's a lovely sentiment (especially if you have/want kids.)
