The scarab is beautiful, too, though the last photo was out of focus.:-)

I cannot find the whole 8.5 x 11 artwork my grandson did, but I do have the 2-3 inch circle within it which I'd already scanned in. It is HERE at myopera site. The dark red around is the other part of the whole painting and coincides with the red sandstone which is prevalent in this area. I *see* so many different elements in this. He was 2 years and 2 months when he did it...Jan. 2006.

I don't think he is necessarily a genius but he definitely has some talent with art, creativity/imagination, and music. We recently made a robot dog out of a piece of paper with paper ears stapled on and four legs made of foil-wrapped gum, which gave it a stiff-legged bulldog kind of stance. It was pretty funny!
