Summer summer, Color, color!!!!!

So this summer, a friend of mine asked me to teach her daughter art. My expression was a mix of surprise and complete disbelief! I didn't think I was equipped enough to teach but there was no deterring my friend. And know what...I am glad she made me do this. I LOVE IT! I LOVE TEACHING KIDS TO PAINT!!!

Of course this was a test run and my class was super informal. But I ended up teaching 3 children from the neighborhood, ages 6,9 and 10.
And since I had only 8 classes to be with them, I thought the best thing to do is to teach them how to hold and move their brushes on paper, how to notice the million different types of green in nature and learn about one artist:)

Today's class we interpreted Picasso's 'Mediterranean Life' and here's what we got:

Needless to say, I am super proud of my kids! And you know what their homework is....3 jokes every week:)

Cathedrals, Phantoms & Naked Dogs

So, I had this opportunity to visit the Colton & Farb Gallery a couple of weeks ago to drop off my work for an auction. And the treat I got for that was well worth it...I got to see Sharon Kopriva's works showing there. Big breath........ her work is phenomenal!!!!! I was completely bowled over by the dimensional functionality in her work.

I would not categorize her as a painter or sculptor alone. She is a fantastic mix of both. HER WORK COMES TO LIFE!
