The perfectionist painter

I win a freakin' medal. Not only did I not put my 4 year old out on the street for neighbors to take in when I discovered that he had splattered and spread paint all over the utility room, but I even got to the bottom of the problem and figured out why he did it. Question is when do I get my medal and how much is it worth in cash?

    Gretchen,

    You said "I even got to the bottom of the problem and figured out why he did it." So why did he do it?

    Ah, he made this really amazing painting earlier in the day, and then he went back and made it even more amazing after the first layer had dried. Then as he was nearing the end of the project, he messed up and got paint where he didn't want it. He was frustrated. So logically, like any good artist, he decided to vent by flinging paint everywhere.

      Is that how the Expressionist Movement began?
