Campers Paint the Town Clock

On the last day of this session of art camp our young artists (ages 5-7) painted another local scene….our Town Clock. And didn’t they do a terrific job?! It is always a challenge to get so many to sit still for a photo but then when a dog walks by as we are set up for the photo all kinds of wiggling occurs. Everyone of them had to get a pet in as the pup walked by. LOL
