I am not kidding
He held it just so. My son has a talent, in case he ever wants to run off & join the circus. I don’t like clowns though.
my big kids koi art project-incomplete
I thought it would be cool to see the before & later the after. A crazy media for painting the koi…The bottom shows how I taught the girls the lines when drawing the fish. I told them to ink- I had not done that yet, so I inked one scale & used what media?
and all I had was my iPhone
I, being the perfect daughter (dripping sarcasm, i write), visited with my mother (i am blessed) on Mother’s day. No camera, only iPhone (Ggrrr). I should know by now that I should never go home…(oops) to my parent’s house, without my (damn) camera. My mom made this piece of art (that I left behind 😦…
Wednesday Afternoon art class
All my classes are three children or less. I find that the smaller the class the more I can get to know & understand their individual skills. Most of the kids come to me after school & they begin art using the logical side of their brain. They press too hard with pencils…its wonderful to…

This artist’s sketchbook has my studio’s logo
At the beginning of class we learn to draw one thing, usually an animal. The hardest thing about learning to draw is learning where to start & that when you start- to learn to see where the lines are off & how to correct them. These are things that people/kids assume they are supposed to…
Look what my art students gave to me
I didn’t want go to teach this morning, but I know once I get there, the kids always change my mood for the better. I had Kindergarten first-22 kids. We were talking about good deeds & one of the children said he wanted to make a painting & give it to me as his good…
Hydrangeas, I can’t wait!
These are in Leaf & Petal so they have not bloomed naturally here yet. But mine have teeny tiny buds. My favorite time of year! We have about 15 Hydrangea’s around our house, all but one planted by us. The blossoms go in the ground one color & come up another color. I can’t wait…
