This moose has a very colorful personality

I have given my students the problem of creating 100 self portraits in 20 days on 5x7 in paper. The challenge is to create something other than an image that depicts a 'dead-pan' stare. When the brain is given a problem, it goes to work immediartely to solve that problem. I have seen some wonderful solutions. This is a tall order for teens who are sensative to judgment and still developing in thier perception. It has generated wonderful discussions of self-awareness, world view, and judgment. Those who engage in the exercise in an authentic manner have only good things to say about the experience. It is not an exercise for everyone. We are on a journey. Be Bold! Be Honest! Draw what you see. Draw what you think. -Peace

Inspired by my children when they tried to help with the garden when they were toddlers

What a handsome little ghost

I hunger for roly-poly... Grrrrr

Just trying out my new wood-less watercolor pencils.

Wanted a fantasy comp but with a unique color palette and a modern subject. I also wanted the foreground to appear as a very distinct layer hoping the landscape appears downhill to the viewer. I used Barad-dûr as inspiration for the castle ruins.

Henry was 5 when he created this. The color is a result of limited choices in chalk.

A couple of octopuses I drew that are going to get some color soon.

This little monster went for a wild flower ride.

Sending my love watercolor with ink.

Kiwi's are very strange creatures.

In the spring and summer where I work we have "Yacht Rock Friday" and even though everyone is home now, it's still playing on my speakers.

Palette Toad makes a colorful mess wherever she goes.
