Skips a Generation

Kelly's mom, Bonnie, was an amazingly gifted artist. Her paintings routinely received ribbons in county and state fairs, they were sold in galleries, and even hung in museums.

I've reminded Gus of that fact ever since he first said he wants to be an artist. I want him to have a connection with his late grandmother, and to understand talent runs in his family.

From the looks of his last couple of pieces he did in the art classes we signed him and Niko up for, I'd say he's well on his way.
