As a parent, nothing is more fulfilling and heartwarming than when you know that your son is not only a good kid, but that he is doing good in school too. I remember when he was in 4th grade, his teacher said that he was not only a smart kid but that he was also a joy to be around and good-natured.
So today, I’m honoring my unico hijo, or only son, on this post. He is now in high school and I can’t help but be a proud Mom because he has not changed other than being a little cranky every now and then especially in the morning when I wake him up. He wants to sleep more, most of the time. Is that a teenager thingy? LOL.
So, anyway, other than his achievements like being on the Honor Roll and being inducted into the National Junior Beta Club in 6th grade, he also has this talent or skill that is worth sharing in my book: his skills in artwork.
Other than this drawing which he made here at home, the two paintings were done in school. The first one in 9th grade, and the one below is a current 10th grade creation.
And I have to quote one alumni who I met when I attended my Alumni Reunion in Virginia in 2011. I call her Ms. Noh and below is her heartwarming comment on this picture when I shared it on Facebook.
“Yogi sure has the stroke. One of my passion is collecting art. He’ll be an excellent artist and amazingly creative! Keep it up Yogi.”
Ms. Noh
The top picture also received comments like he should take up Fine Arts because he sure does have the talent.
He loves drawing and doing this kind of stuff. But it’s really up to him on what he decides to take in college because there are still a lot of things that interests him that he is also good at other than drawing.
I have some of his artwork from way back in his elementary years framed and displayed in his room. And it looks like I have more to have framed.
Proud Mom here! 🙂
Your son is so talented! It’s so much fun to watch them grow and to see their talent grow as well.
Thank you, Alli!
I used to be a high school art teacher and these are good! Encourage that talent, as you never know where it will lead him.
Thank you, Janet! Will do. 🙂
Very talented from a young age. Wonderful he has found a passion he truly enjoys doing.
Thank you, Candy!
I love that you are exploring this so much! He should be proud of this skill, I would love it!
oh my goodness this is amazing- what an incredible skill to have! so proud!
Oh wow! That is really great artwork. Keep encouraging and supporting that dream and talent. It really is so good.
Your son is one amazing boy! He is very talented. I hope he always Does R even if it’s just as a hobby. It was just a good way to relax and have fun.
My son has a talent for art and was really good in HS, but it wasn’t so cool then. Love the artwork by your son.
Wow, he is so talented. My mom and sister both went to college for art stuff and I have some of both of their works in my house.
Oh wow these are really good! He has a real talent and that should definitely be encouraged. I love his style!
WOW! Love your sons artwork. He’s so talented! Continue to encourage his passion for Art.
Your son reminds me a lot of my oldest. She too loves to draw and each time she shows me something new, I’m more in awe of her and her talent.
Wow, these are really great. He is going to be an amazing artist, he already is!
Your son is very artistic. This post is beautiful and I know it will also inspire him to reach his dreams when he’s celebrated like this.
These are beautiful. I love the idea of showcasing talent from young artists.
He certainly has talent! I hope he always keeps up with his passion for art.
I bet you are proud mama there. Isn’t it feels so good seeing your kids growing up so smart and do things what they love to do. I wish your son nourish that talent as time goes on. Who know one day he can have his own exhibit.
I love all this artwork. My daughter is passionate about drawing and creating. She is taking classes on art now and would love to hone her craft!
