Amazing Art

Sarah Perez on December 4th, 2004

BikinibigWow, I’m impressed…and feeling a little inadequate. Check out these amazing paintings….by a 4-year old art prodigy in NY. Unbelievable!

Marla Olmstead started painting at age three. Most kids, if using that much color on a canvas, would have turned it into a work of brown sludge. However, Marla’s work is expressive, made with bright acrylic paints brushed, splattered and scraped onto canvases that are often bigger than she is. Her work shows an innate understanding of form and composition; the child is truly gifted. So far, she has already sold $50,000 worth of paintings.

  1. That’s amazing… and makes me feel that much worse about my inability to draw even a stick figure. :(
    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I’ll be stopping by again- interesting reading. :)

  2. Those are great. Plus her parents get to go to modern art exhibits and sniff: You call this art? My four-year-old could do better than that.

  3. She is very gifted. I’ve seen her on Oprah or somewhere on TV.

  4. That’s cool!!
    But I bet you she don’t do them all herself….maybe some help from daddy??
