As part of his drama camp, The Boy studied different art movements–cubism, expressionism, mannerism, etc. They used these different styles as inspiration for their sets & costumes and spent part of their days devoted to painting and sculpting (and bedazzling fabric!).
Here are two pieces my son painted:

Rock-n-Roll Rooster

Angry Nerd
The second is my favorite. I keep telling Jer that it looks nothing like him, but he disagrees.
Sure, he has dark hair parted on that side… and thick eyebrows like that… and a largish nose… and black glasses–but he never wears ruffled turtlenecks or red lipstick!
I framed them today and hung them in the den. Angry Nerd makes me giggle every time I pass it.

Angry nerd is a wonderful painting. Hope you had it framed. You will admire it when you are old and in a rocking chair.
