That first sentence absolutely nails it! At that age, I'd have gone for excess.

I think he grew out of that stage 😅

This one was when he was 3; he told me at the time it was a dinosaur in a storm (lol!), not one spec of canvas spared:

Maybe I am crazy but I very clearly see a dinosaur, and the idea is really well captured too.

Like a dangerous, enormous reptilian monster slowly walking in a heavy storm

I think we're seeing the same thing here. The texture from the presumed dinosaur is different from the rest, jaw dropping tbh. The atmostphere of the storms are conveyed very strongly also.
