School Mural

Well, I am very excited. This weekend we started the installation of our 6 1/2 by 16 feet tile mural. We got all but 4 tiles up on the wall. I took some pictures of it this morning. You can see how it covers the whole wall. There are 416 6 inch tiles all hand textured and glazed by the students (Kindergarten through 5th).

Painting Practice

I've been trying to learn painting from books. I've discovered it is not the best way to learn, but at least it makes me paint.


This is a folded piece of colored paper.


This is a still life of a coffee cup and a rock.


And, this is a lesson out of a book without looking at a real flower, just the picture that someone else painted. So I tried to change it somewhat and got very lost.
