...but Robert has suddenly sprung up! He spends hours drawing people, places, weapons, nature and anything else he can think of. He looks at a picture in a book, closes it and just draws, and the resemblance is very close! He has an eye for detail. Not long ago he drew these three; the face he copied onto paper while looking at the original picture, but the other two were cleverly drawn out of his head. He told Mum that he would be an artist when he grew up! I don't doubt it.
He wrote his name at the top to say
that he drew it. And, by the way, this
is a lady (rather an ugly lady).

D.I.Y cupboard illustrations. He has never even seen a real elevation plan, he just knew how to do it. See how all the parts aren't actually attached? The arrows point to the way the nails have to be hit into the wood and the hinges (up-close) look realistic. The carpenter in our family was most impressed.

That last one is quite impressive. Though I'm not surprised that he knew how to do it considering your Dad installs kitchens!
Wow - Robbie's elevation plan is amazing, since he has never seen one! I just showed Dave, and he said "I wonder what he is going to spend his life doing?!" Must be a gene there. I don't think any of our children will ever have it.
