virginia again after winning in 2008. he'll be speaking to students in arlington talking about the need for affordable college education and keeping student loan interest rates down. the commonwealth is a state romney knows is important, too. yesterday the former massachusetts governor met with virginia governor bob mcdonald to talk about energy and the economy, while also picking up the endorsement of michele bachmann. mcdonald has been mentioned as a possible running mate. >> there's no question about energy having gotten more expensive under this president, and part of that is because of his policies. >> he will make clear, continually, that it is his strong conviction that it is absolutely the wrong thing to do for our economy to adopt the very policies that got us into this mess. >> reporter: today's event at the high school is closed to the public. the president will hold a round table with the secretary of education first with a group of juniors and seniors and their parents.

then he'll address the entire junior and senior class here. of course, the big day as far as the campaign is concerned is the launch of president obama's re-election bid and to show how important virginia is, that's going to take place in richmond. that's the latest in arlington, back to you. >> thank you very much. meantime, developing news from overseas today, secretary of state hillary clinton says she is encouraged by china's statement that it will allow a blind chinese activist to apply to study abroad. this move is seen as the most positive response so far from the chinese government since chen guangcheng escaped house arrest last week. chen remains at a beijing hospital two days after leaving the protection of the u.s. embassy to be reunited with his family. secretary clinton says chen spoke with top u.s. officials today about his desire to leave china. his is not the only case the u.s. is concerned about. >> not just about well known

do you know where president obama grew up? how about the capital of illinois? if you don't, you are not alone. whomever created nato's latest video for its up coming summit doesn't know either. nato posted the video yesterday, but soon heard complaints that a, chicago is not the capital of illinois. it's springfield. it's also not where the president grew up. he of course spent his childhood in hawaii and

indonesia. nato edited the video later to correct these pretty big mistakes. a 13-year-old boy in new york was quick to point out a mistake at the met. this is a picture of an exhibition by the byzantine gallery. he noticed the map was missing sections for spain and africa. he notified the museum. he later got a call to meet the curator who said he was right and the exhibit would be updated. tony, over to you. very good. multiaward winning actress jane seymour and her son have partnered to create an exhibition of art and photography. this morning jane joins us to talk about the exhibit and tell us where she'll be making appearances this friday and saturday right here in our area. here she is once again, jane seymour. you are a friend to the broadcast now. we thank you for coming back. >> thank you. >> always happy to have you here. >> thank you. >> before we talk about the

specific pieces and exhibits you have this weekend, i love the fact that you have -- you know, we all know you for your acting work, and now you've carved out this great life for yourself as an artist and a jewelry designer and all of that. that must be very rewarding to you. >> it is. everything came from the arts, so i design also furniture and of course the jewelry, the open heart is really based on the philosophy i live by, which is when life is tough, our instinct is to close off and not let anyone know. if you can open up, accept what it is and reach out to help someone else, it gives you purpose. it also helps you. that's what the open heart is all about. and about 20 years ago i went through a terrible divorce. i lost everything financially and emotionally and art was healing for me. art is very much who i am. it's exciting to meet people who come to shows, because there are stories behind every piece. it's what i do for me. it's as close as you can get to

who i am. the characters i play are great. i love acting. but i have played wayout characters. >> and they are characters. this is you. >> this is me. >> i want to talk about some of the pieces. i want to start with the woman in the red dress. >> that's me. >> that's you? >> i also use myself as a model, because i can't figure out how to tell someone to act the way i would want it to be. that's me walking through what i perceive as something beautiful. the strength of her back, and the red dress. it's the path through life, kind of the symbolism in it. i do a lot of single flowers. i find a lot of character in just the face of a flower. >> petals, yeah. >> a lot of character. i particularly love those colors. back there, that's my homage to monet. if you hang them up separate from each other, it feels like

you're looking through a window at monet's water lilies. >> tell me about your son, shawn flynn, 26 years old. first time you've done exhibitions with his work included? >> first time in washington, d.c. but he showed art in miami at red dot, which is probably the most important showing for contemporary art. he was selected as being one of the upcoming emerging artists. >> his work is photography? >> it is, but it's not plain photography. he takes several images at the same time and merges it within the camera. it's not photo shopped. >> interesting. >> what is interesting about it is everything in the distances is shot, and the foreground, so it's a surreal feeling to it. the images he does are amazing. people love them. there are a number of pieces from england from our home in england, over a thousand years old. there's one called the red

tree, i think has already sold. there's a bunch of pieces he took when i was making my movie "lake effect." >> shot parts of it in virginia. >> the whole thing in virginia. >> wonderful. >> i talk with a virginia accent. and that's coming out on hallmark sunday. you'll recognize a lot of his pictures from there, and some of them from philadelphia and a lot in virginia. he fell in love with virginia. >> let's tell people where they can see you tonight and tomorrow and see your artwork and from your son as well. went worth gallery in montgomery county. west field montgomery shopping area. that tonight and tomorrow afternoon. then you'll be at tyson's galleria in mcclain tomorrow evening, saturday, from 6:00 until 9:00, also at the wentworth gallery. we have to go. is this the original? >> the originalheart was actually a water color painting in red paint.

thunderstorms around here. mid- to late afternoon, evening hours, look to the sky and be ready for the possibility of severe weather. in fact, the storm prediction center in oklahoma has already issued a severe risk for us. slight risk officially for severe weather. big concern here is gusty winds and potential for hail later today. just be ready for it. when that front gets south and east of us, as we get into the overnight hours, i think it will be much improvement for the weekend. after a warm and humid day today, we're going to be a little cooler and drier as we get into our saturday and sunday. 70 now. definitely on the warm side. our forecast high, about 84 degrees in washington. close to 90 off to the south and west of the city. partly sunny skies. scattered showers. warm and humid out there. see if the showers and storms linger into the evening hours. going to the nationals game, potential for early showers. mild overnight.

>> dear viewer, thank you so much for writing in with this emotional and highly sensitive question. truly, understand i appreciate you trusting me with this, especially since you might not like what i'm going to say. i know you are hurt. i know you're confused, you feel betrayed by your dad, and i know you don't like seeing your step mom hurt, especially after 17 years of marriage. perhaps adding insult to injury is the fact, as you mentioned, your dad's girlfriend is your age, 36 years old, i believe. this is all stuff that would rip up a family, make any adult child take sides and i don't think anyone would argue with me when i say your father is engaging in selfish behavior right now. now here comes the big but, viewer. at the end of the day, the decision to have your dad move out of the home he shares with your mother is the decision only of your parents, not yours, not your siblings, no matter how close to this situation you are.

you have every right to tell your father how you feel, that you feel his behavior is unacceptable and he has changed and you have every right to console your step mom. let her cry on your shoulder. but it is their personal business to deal with. the fallout from your dad's actions. is your mother going to seek a divorce? have you put her emotions in -- have you taken them into consideration, put your own emotions in order long enough to ask her is that what she wants to do? is she planning on forgiving him or asking him to move out? this is her life. she is an adult, too. what's troubling about your e- mail is that line, we want him to leave. this is not for you to decide. i'm sorry. i know that's how you feel. there are only two people involved in that decision, your mom and your dad, point blank, period. about your dad, you described him as a loving, caring,

considerate provider. he did his job in raising his six children. that was his obligation to you. he did that. whatever he's going through now is his burden to bear. i would caution you not to shut him out of your life completely. none of us is perfect, and he is still your father, so i would urge you to yes, let him know how you feel, don't let questions remain about that, but also understand he is an important person in your life and the lives of his 14 grandchildren who he deserves your compassion and love. good luck. i hope you still watch the show after that. >> you do not shy away from the heavy topics. >> you know she's in pain and her siblings are in pain, too. but you make that decision, and your step mom is alone and missing your father. who knows, she might forgive him, or she might kick him out. it's her decision. >> i agree with you. i don't know if it matters to

you or them. i agree 100%. >> you do? >> this happens all the time. t somebody, and shutting them out. that's a dangerous road to go down. i don't think you want to go down that road. >> none of us is perfect. do you have a question you'd like answered? send it to me. >> i have a question, but i'm not going to send it in. my toaster doesn't work. >> no, no, please do. that seems easier. you're going to find a link to ask allison under the morning tab of myfoxdc.com. >> thank you, allison. >> i love you, viewer. coming up, a somewhat surprising elimination on "american idol." find out who america sent home. >> i'd say so. michael jackson soon popping up in a store near you. one company's new campaign strategy, next in the buzz bin. what would you call an ordinary breakfast pastry
