I don't know where Derek (DJ) gets his artistic ability. This picture, like several of his primitives, has some unknown quality that I know speaks beyond the paper. It is like he unbottles his inner angst and just flows it across the paper. He's only 6, but I see it in this art. I've seen it in the ant creature he painted and I just can't throw it away. I see it in other works here too, like the buildings. These trees are mocking us as they stand so sharp and angularly in the embattled snowfield defiant to the gusting winds.
