No more crib!

Last night I decided I would put my 2 year old in his bed and see if he didn't fall off. This morning, this is what I woke up to. The image was embedded into my cerebrum all day. Since I got to work early and had about half an hour to spare, I grabbed a box of highlighters and recorded Mommy's proud moment. My little man slept in his own big boy bed all night. No more crib!

HELP!!!! Can't decide on the ground. Dark or light? Anyone care to give input?

5 year old student!!!!!!

Just thought you'd all like to see what one of my 5 year old students did last Spring at The School of Arts and Culture. If you like what you see, check out the website and look for my classes this fall. Fall session starts September 30th, so tell your children, nieces, nephews, grand kids, and neighbors to join me for an exciting new semester!

Mexican Sun

Another nap time painting. I guess I was not only inspired by all the "artes plasticas" that surround me here in Mexico but I revisited some of my seed sun designs. I really enjoyed working with a saturated color palette and the Alebrije dot style that is typical of Oaxacan art. I might keep this style for future projects.

Mexican Angel

Well, I finished summer semester teaching online at Academy of Art University and I completed instructing at summer camp at the School of Arts and Culture and less than 24 hours after completing all my work, I was in another country! Home sweet home, mother land of all that inspires me to create, I am enjoying my vacation time in Mexico. Since this is my first international trip with my 2 year old, we are having to adjust to his naps. Here is a 2 hour painting done while he napped in Jalostotitlan. It wasn't planned or sketched in the usual manner that I typically do most of my work. It came about very subconsciously.
