I asked my son (4 years old) whether he could draw me for the Portrait Party contest and he said: "I can only draw pirates and vikings and ships and treasures and monsters. But not you. It wouldn´t be nice." I replied that it needn´t be nice. It would be great if he would just try to draw me though. When he saw that everybody exchanged portraits with me he tried it too.
When he gave me the drawing I asked him what that black line on top of my head was. He rolled his eyes: "Mom, that´s your long ponytail of course".

He's gorgeous and so is your portrait of him, Kersten! I've always really loved your clean direct drawing style. And his portrait of you is pretty cool - very edgy. Frame, i'm sure you could get it into a gallery.
hi kersten, these drawings are terrific, i should do a portrait exchange with my four year old son too!
Two lovely simple (and all the more challenging to do because of the bold simplicity) drawings Kerstin and your son's of you is so cool.
These are all Wonderful!
Hi Kersten! This gives me an idea for my weekly art lesson with my Annie. Your son is quite the artist! I love your portraits of your children....beautiful!
