Loving the world...

So Jordan and I went out this morning, for a field trip. We hit the Bloomington Art Center (VERY COOL!) and the MOA.
As we were walking, I was looking at Lee's Art Gallery- this dude can DRAW. It's a gift. He asked if he could draw Jordan. While normally my hackles would have gone up because he's trying to make some money, I looked at his work again and asked how much.

Of COURSE we get a discount for being the first customers, because more people come when they are watching him work. $25.00 for a big ole picture of Jordan. That's IT. For THAT TALENT.
Anyway, he took a pic of Jordan because my shy guy doesn't like people he doesn't know very much, and we came back later to watch him, and HOLY CRAP. It's just such a gift. So I love him a little bit- okay, a lot. Can you imagine what the world looks like through HIS eyes? To see things in shades, in depth, to see what's REALLY there that we are all missing? Jordan's eyes sparkle in the picture just as much as they do in real life. It's gorgeous. I might need him to do all the kids- THAT is worth paying money for. Beautiful. What a soul. I wonder if he FEELS it or if it's just something he does? I wonder if I'll ask him if he feels what he does or if he just does it. I have to admit, I'm going to be disappointed if he tells me that he just does it and he doesn't take it in every time, but I am betting that he does feel every inch of it. In fact, while the finished product is astounding, the real true beauty is in watching him work. It's BEAUTIFUL, what he sees and how he interprets it.

*LOVE*
