The Other Van Gogh In The Family

Only a few days after we received the letter informing us of Jacklyn's art exhibit, we received a letter inviting us to the Leander ISD art exhibit for secondary schools. Reily was one of the artists from Henry Middle School to be showcased. The exhibit was held today at Vista Ridge High School. There were three high schools and six middle schools represented, so there was a lot of art being displayed. There were many different mediums used, everything from pencil sketches to computer-generated art. I was truly impressed by all the wonderful artwork I saw. Reily's art was a pastel piece of a plane flying into the horizon over the ocean. I love it! Notice the blue streaks across the ocean. The plane must be a jet and it's flying really fast and really close to the water. That's what I see. Reily was kind of shy about it and didn't say much, he just walked around and looked at all the other pieces. I'll have to ask him if I'm correct in my observation. Reily's art teacher, Ms. Winston, was there and it was great to talk with her about Reily and the art program at the school. She told us she loves Reily...and who wouldn't! It was great for Jacklyn to be able to talk with Ms. Winston as well, because she will be joining the art club at Henry Middle School next year. I am so proud of Reily and love that he has this wonderful talent!
