Ordered Art

Jack's shell creation...



Even when Jack was a toddler, he really liked to align things. Never in a straight line, at least, not ONLY a straight line. He'd make elaborate mosaics of his hotwheels. Now, before bed, he'll often arrange his bedtime toys and stuffed animals just so. These shells are just the latest outlet. They are from our trip to the beach last summer, and among Jack's most prized possessions. Perhaps I may be biased, but I think there's something really beautiful about the was he's arranged them. Perhaps we weren't so far off naming him after Jackson Pollack. (Though I have to put in my two cents, it was also after Stonewall Jackson....who was a bit off the wall, which fits our little man just fine, also.)
