Valentine's Day: Paper Plate Designs


I am working on some new paper plate designs for spring. I was working on a sketch for this Valentine's Day plate and my seven year old son decided to try designing his own version of a Valentine's plate! I thought it was so good that I had to post it!

The dark area of the heart is where someone has taken a giant bite out of the chocolate heart!

Kennedy Elementry: Art in Residence

I have been working in the Salem/Keizer schools with the Art in Residence program and I am having a wonderful time! These paintings are wax resist with watercolor done with the 1st graders at Kennedy Elementry. They all did such a wonderful job!

Notice how our snowman's bottom is completely buried!

It's been snowing here for days. Today is even heavier than yesterday when we made this wonderful snowman! It looks like it's going to be a very long Christmas break for the kids. I hope I survive! ;-)
