I thought you all out there should know that not only is Chris kind, a very talented musician, good at Wii Bowling, and an awesome train conductor... he is also a very creative artist. Many of you would probably be surprised to know that he has been a closet painter since I have known him. It is just so funny because every once in a while when the mood strikes, without any word or planning, he will just whip out some paints and make a painting in like 30 minutes. (He earned his own painting supplies for Valentines Day because during his last creative episode my brushes were "somehow" destroyed-see my previous post:)) His work is in the contemporary abstract style, and he often uses uncommon material and tools. This painting he did yeserday was made with a knife and a medicine dropper, and is oil on canvas. I thought I would show off for him because I think it's pretty cool. I just love my quirky guy. To quote "Shrek", he is an onion; so many layers.

Wow! The whole Rossetto family is brimming with creativity! Next we'll be hearing that Jack and Brother have taken up interpretive dance.
I love it Chris! I always knew you were a Renaissance man. Eric painted me a couple pictures when he was in Korea. Looks like there's more than one guy in this family in the artistic closet. Wait a minute...that didn't sound good.
Just one more thing...We should have known Chris had a sensitive side. Just look at that adorable blue flower he's wearing in your blog header photograph.
It sounds like all the men in the family are fairly creative.
