Stuffed toy, Barney the Burro pauses to consider his options as up ahead, on a high-back chair-mountain, a stuffed toy lion awaits any unwary toys that may try to from the living-room into the hallway.
The ability to craft little dramas like this is an important stage in childhood development. The child utilizes what they know about burros and lions, or other toy-depictions, to construct a framework for the drama, (in this case, lions hunt animals similar to burros). They compose personalities based on people they know and things they've seen. The lion may be a bully at school or in the neighborhood or a character from televised drama. The burrow may be themselves or a composition based on what they see as virtuous characteristics. The challenge, that makes the play interesting, is, how can the burro gat past the lion to the safety of the hallway?
How the child solves this problem may help shape how they solve problems in adult living.

Edwin Loftus is an American painter and draftsman born in 1951. His interest in art began at the age of 4 when he decided to draw something real rather than working from his imagination. 

As a child he excelled at drawing and as a teenager he began to experiment with oil painting. In college, he took courses in art and art history and realized that true art had nothing to do with the quality of the drawing or painting, but that it had to have the ambition to push the boundaries and expand the visual experience. 

He also studied philosophy, psychology and history and quickly realized that it was just another art establishment trying to defend its elitist industry and reward system. Their skills were almost non-existent, they knew nothing about psychology, perception or stimulus response, and they were extensions of the belief system that made communism, fascism and other forms of totalitarianism such destructive forces in the world. They literally believe that art shouldn't be available to ordinary human beings, but only to an elite "sophisticated" enough to understand it. 

Edwin Loftus realized that the emperors of art had no clothes, but they were still the emperors. Gifted in art, he worked hard to acquire this skill. So he found other ways to make a living and sold a few artworks from time to time. For sixty years, many people enjoyed his works and some collected them. 

Today, Edwin Loftus is retired. Even if he sold all his paintings for the price he asked, "artist" would be the lowest paid job he ever had... but that's the way it is.  It won't matter to him after he dies. He just hopes that some people will like what he does enough to enjoy it in the future.
