The artist discusses his work
Wednesday, March 21, 2007
Jasper took a few minutes this morning to share some insights into his latest work. He pointed out that it has a gorilla and some giraffes. Of course, I already knew this, having cut the pictures out of the magazine, but nonetheless it was enlightening to hear his point of view.

Wearable art/Jasper and me #12
Friday, March 16, 2007
Na Na gave Jasper these Thomas stickers this morning, and as you can see he spared no time in using them. In keeping with his exploration of various media, he created a temporary wearable piece.
I am also finding it interesting that I did not see that ketchup on his face until I looked at these pictures.

Brookside Gardens
Wednesday, March 14, 2007
It is beautiful here—mid 70s—so we made our first trip of the season to Brookside Gardens this morning. They have a cool sculpture exhibit up, but that did nothing to slow Jasper down. He ran laps in the Conservatory for about 45 minutes, then we went for pancakes. A totally indulgent morning!Here's a slideshow with a few additional pics.

A multimedia morning
Friday, March 9, 2007
Left: Watercolor and glitter glue (for Grandma Juli)Right: Watercolor and star stickers (for Na Na)
These projects necessitated a trip to Michael's for more supplies. Jasper's been quite prolific with the paint lately, and keeps asking for blue paper, which our stash did not include. Luckily, we were able to make good on both of those at the store (along with several additional items that Jasper and Mommy felt might not be completely necessary, but were cool).

Alligators all around
Monday, March 5, 2007
Today's Zoo class was about alligators. We got to touch alligator skin and hold a small alligator head (eesh). Then we made our own "working" alligator with paint, brads, and little poppy things (not quite sure what those were supposed to represent—the texture of the skin, perhaps), which Jasper opted to attach perpendicularly, just to be unique. Then we went to visit the alligators and the rest of his reptilian friends.

Playgroup at Brennan and Clayton's house
Tuesday, February 27, 2007
The kids had a lot of fun making paper lanterns at Brennan's (and Clayton and Abbey's) house this morning. During our attempts at a group shot, Xander kept crawling out, so you can see he's just been "helped" back into the frame in this shot.
Jasper is annoyed with me b/c I wouldn't show him the pictures on my camera until I got this one!
Thanks for having us Abbey!

Jasper's new favorite toy
Wednesday, February 21, 2007
This is Jasper's new favorite thing. It doesn't matter whether there is anything to glue down, simply squirting the glue in delicate lines all over a piece of construction paper is pleasure enough. After dinner tonight he spent 1/2 an hour gluing googly eyes onto a picture he declared was for Aunt Ga Ga. The amount of glue required was totally disproportionate to the number of googly eyes affixed, but it's art, after all.
