Artist

G has always had a talent for art and has dabbled in
a variety of mediums.

pen and ink of his maternal grandfather
drawn from a photograph

oil painting - Dutch landscape

Creating images is a lot more difficult for him these days.

For the last couple of months,
he's been playing Brain Age, a Nintendo game
that includes math and word exercises,
as well as a drawing exercise.

"Here's what I want you to draw: Violin"

Evidently, drawing from memory is good for the brain.

I think it's time to get out his old art supplies
and see what happens.
