About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs, I Kevin crying in his room. I knocked on the door and asked, “Kevin, do you want to ?”

An hour later, I was still sitting on the floor outside his door with a stack of (一摞) notes in my hands. As I read one of Kevin's notes, I couldn't help crying.

You're never around to even me.”

The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles organized an interesting online activity. It invited art-lovers to recreate their favourite artworks with things and people in their homes and post photos. Here are three creative works.
Laughing Fool by Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen, 1500
Different from the scary fool in Jacob's painting, Tiffanie Pierini Ho looks lovely in the photo. Tiffanie thought of her old giraffe onesie (连体衣) when she saw the fool's long ears. She also wore a Christmas sweater with cuffs (袖口). The action and smile of the two fools are almost the same.
Imaginary Insect, Tulip, Spider, and Common Pear by Joris Hoefnagel and Georg Bocskay, 1561-1562
6-year-old Bella has a love of nature and learned about the activity at breakfast-time. She chose one of the pages in a book. She used dry noodles as the word lines and eggs as the pears. The background of the photo was a brown paper bag. Her mother said it was truly wonderful to let art be a part of people's daily life.

The Laundress by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, 1761
Elizabeth Ariza took part in the activity with a photo of her daughter. They chose the painting because they really loved the composition (构图). She said, “My daughter loves dress-up.
