The Next Jackson Pollack...

Reagan is big into art. Her skills flourished early on and after putting a crayon in her wee, little hand, we recognized her talent and encouraged it. Our refrigerator remains the only gallery currently displaying her work but we're considering a Midwest tour possibly beginning with the Nelson later this spring. I'll keep you posted, naturally.

An interesting demonstration of Reagan's continuing artistic development is her ability to work in several mediums. For instance, this evening, Reagan created quite an amazing piece entirely of yogurt. Her canvas? Human skin. She delicately brushed the yogurt (raspberry and pear, if you're curious) onto her hand and arm using sweeping strokes of her purple spoon. Her concentration was evident in the lines on her little furrowed brow and in her piercing black eyes. In fact it took several gasps and sputters and then a burst of "Reagan, no!" for me to fully engage the little Picasso in conversation.

Reagan also delights in embellishing such items as tax statements, calendars, polished desks, alma mater sweatshirts and stacks of post-it notes. Her designs fill our home and we're always delighted when we find a new Reagan original. Stop by anytime to see her masterpieces. Feel free to bring your last will and testament or perhaps the deed to your home. Our sweet Monet will make it extra special for you at no charge.
