Beautiful. He and his wife's (also a professional artist) work is all beautiful. What a talented family! Here's one of her collaborating with Emilie, their daughter, as well.

He's also famous for playing piano for elephants.

Anybody who knows me will realize why it means so much to me...

I used to create beautiful art (songs) with my baby girl too. Here are some. And now I left her and moved away, and my heart is broken...

I wonder if she'll stay ambidextrous or if it's just because she's little.

That's so beautiful! The level of intense concentration on her face even as a baby, especially with the sculpture, is incredible. Thanks for sharing.

At five she has a shot at staying ambidextrous.

I really enjoyed this. I liked that she stretches and gessoes her own canvas. What a privilege to grow up with such an abundance of materials and supplies!

Those little arms and hands choked me up.
The patience it takes to bring a child into such tedious work is admirable to say the least.
