James' Art

James' Artwork - more later. We are very tired - first visit after three years of Navy and being overseas. His mama is certainly glad to see him. A bit of explanation - besides being in the anti-terrorist force, my James is an artist/musician/tree climber and all kinds of other wonderful things, and father of our beautiful little Sierra - was full of mischief as a little kid. We just split our sides laughing at dinner, as he and the brother who was also here enlighted me about some of the pranks I never caught them doing - and remembering the ones I did see. (I have four boys - all grown now) Anyway - these are his "universe suspended" - he casts these things in resin to appear as planets, etc. The piece on the stand is the earth and moon. The small flat one is Jupiter - you can see rings around it if you look closely - and the moons. Fascinating.

how proud you must be to see that your talent as an artist , has come out in one of your children...
you can't tell me that to create is not in the gentic make-up and of course you need a parent that will nourture this talent.... my mother was one such parent...from the age of 3, I was exposed to the arts,
one of my earliest memories was sitting on a bench in front of a Turner painting at the National Gallery...my mother said i was barely four and had been attending the gallery as soon as i could sit up in the stroller...
James I'm sure was influenced by having you as a mother...
his art is fascinating...you must be so proud...
