Cornflowers
Maximus, Age 14
Max is Autistic with Tourettes. Since he was very young he has found in painting a great relief if he is feeling disregulated, uncomfortable or overwhelmed. For this painting he mixed colours and created layers and arches ending with the green-stemmed blue flowers. I asked Max what he’d like to call the painting and he said to me ‘Blue Flowers’ and I said ‘They look like cornflowers!’
