Name the artist!

While browsing thrift shop book shelves, I discovered a very old art book written for children. Its pages were filled with examples of drawings from many famous artists.

Even though the pictures were all black and white, I paid my quarter and brought the book home.

When I had time to examine the book page by page, I decided that only a few were worth keeping. Among those treasures was this wonderful sketch.


I read the title under the picture... and then I read it again. I still find it hard to believe the name of the artist.

Can you guess?

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. II Samuel 22:33

My first impression was an early Picasso. Other than that I would only be guessing, so I will take a chance on Picasso.

What's first prize? Mom

Ok... this was supposed to be hard. And the first person to answer is right!

Yes, Mom, it's a Picasso. It is so beautiful, isn't it?

The prize? My undying gratitude. :>)

My guess is Pacasso as well. Mom and I decided on that together when we looked at the picture.


Is there another prize for ties??? :-)
