The twins would ask their dear loving father to draw "an Indian
on a horse" or "a stream-line train" and then the boys would
copy their father's drawing. Years later, Vincent said: "When
the boys were 5 years old , I stopped drawing because their
drawings were better than mine." Then Harriet took over.

in Saugatuck, Michigan

In Kindergarten, two
boys would threaten
the twins with: "If you
don't draw us a picture
that we can bring home
  to our mother, we are
going to beat you up!"
    The twins soon
learned to draw well.
