It’s not many fourth-graders who can impress the Wolf of Wall Street.But Jordan Belfort — the trader-turned-felon who inspired the Scorsese film — snapped up a painting this week by 10-year-old painter Andres Valencia. So did “Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara. Channing Tatum and artist Shepard Fairey also stopped by Andres’ booth at Art Miami after hearing about the prodigy.And he already knows how to play the celebrity game: “I’m so happy [Vergara] bought my piece,” Andres told The Post.While most fourth-graders are finishing up their homework and playing Fortnite, Andres — who has been painting since he was 4

He may be talented. But a 10 year old has nothing to say. Actually meaning or saying something is what transforms a mere decoration art.

Right on, #7, the boy is channeling Picasso and as such is an example of what my expert ironworker father used to complain about many of the young men coming into his craft: These guys want to learn the tricks of the trade before they learn the trade.

I agree #7 & #8. I prefer the art of Emilie Barton daughter of Paul Barton. Emilie's mother and father are both accomplished artists and Emilie has inherited the gene. Plus she has excellent instruction from her parents.

I come from a family of artists, and while the appropriate gene was absent at the time of my conception, I still appreciate good art. And I usually hold modern art in disdain. But there is something charming about this lad's use of color and form. And as he evolves, he will get better.

Buyers and patrons determine the value and success of any artist. I wish the kid well. But like nearly all modern art his work is indulgent. Once upon a time artists learned their craft and how to paint the human body, landscapes, etc., through diligent study and practice. Now anyone can create 'art' which is rarely better than can be found on any family refrigerator door.

I guess copying Picasso makes one a prodigy. I've always felt Picasso dropped acid before painting, especially in his later years.

He’s intensely focused on the teleprompter,” reported BBC News journalist Tara Mckelvey, who was in the State Dining Room for the speech.

For nearly a year the Biden “presidency” -- whoever they are -- has subjected the United States to a destructive revolutionary agenda of unprecedented scope and virulence, all of it arising out of an irrational civilizational death wish for which there is no historical parallel. No more than a small minority of Americans knowingly voted for this.(snip) the only question worth asking is how, if at all, a counterrevolution of sanity can be mounted and succeed. Surprisingly, there is real hope. That hope lies in two stubborn centers of resistance that remain: nearly 50% of the American electorate, judging by the 2016 and 2020 elections; and the Republican Party.

The Bidens were on Biden time last night as they arrived at their designated spot for the National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. They were late. They were late enough that the host of the ceremony held on The Ellipse in President’s Park south of the White House had to ask the audience to re-do their applause after the First Couple’s introduction. Last night was the 99th annual National Christmas Tree lighting. Is it too much to ask that Biden’s keepers get him outside on time to flip a switch? Apparently so, and it turned out to be a moment more awkward than usual for Sleepy Joe.

Not all relationships end in “happily ever after,” and birds are no exception. While more than 90 percent of bird species form monogamous couples, many of these will end in divorce. The reasons for splitting up are as varied in birds as they are in humans, and often revolve around things like poor compatibility or slacking off by one partner. However, new research has found a surprising cause of divorce: climate change. Like many seabirds, black-browed albatrosses form monogamous pairs that can last for the entirety of their 70-year lifespans. However, just under 4 percent of these couples will separate

Lower courts have found the ban plainly unconstitutional due to the half century of legal precedent since Roe and put it on hold. While hardly alone in her knee-jerk attachment to the faux constitutionality of Roe, neither she nor the other liberals on the Court can address
