Proud of my sweet son. He had his first piece in an art show. His art teacher submitted it at the end of last year, and his was the only one chooses from the school. Typical Jann-style, i was all over it. Looking for more shows and encouraging the art. I mean, he loves art! He is without a doubt creative, thoughtful, innovative and a perfectionist when it comes to creating what is in his head. Why wouldn't he want to show that off? Wait, i know why! He comes from a long line of artists. And us artist-types struggle between wanting people to see and enjoy the work we are proud of, but not really wanting to step into the limelight t show it off either. Ha! |
His interest and talent doesn't surprise me. We come from a long line of creative-types on both sides of my family. My mother, her brother and her father, my grand-father, are/were artists. My grandmother on my dad's side was an artist. Heck - my great-great-uncle on my dad's side used to travel around with a stuffed leopard and take pictures of it all over the place. He was clearly a creative type. Or nuts.
Jacob is a creative type too. I obviously encourage it, but I encourage a lot of things... and the things he really seems to love these days are art, math, rocks and gems.
Oh, and video games of course.
