a masterpiece

Near the end of the school year, Jack came home from school with a note that he excitedly handed me and asked me to read. As he watched me read, I could see the HUGE grin spreading across his face (he'd opened and read the note on the way home from school on the bus). Jack's art teacher at school had written to announce that one of the drawings Jack did was selected to be displayed at the local art museum in a special exhibit for the school district. Needless to say, Jack was beyond excited and thrilled with the idea that HIS art was going to hang in a museum for others to see. He was invited to attend a special reception on the first day of the exhibit. Very exciting indeed. At the reception we were lucky enough to run into his art teacher who explained that Jack's picture was theresult of the unit they did on Renaissance art. He proudly told me it was a picture of me holding him. . . they had seen paintings of the Madonna and this was Jack's interpretation. Of course, we are very proud of Mr. Jack and his accomplishment. It was so fun to see his artwork in the museum, but even more fun to see the joy on his face at seeing his art on display! And so, without further adieu, here is Jack's masterpiece. . .
