I had a small but talented group for the two-day Art Camp this week. Zoey, a new student for me, did a fabulous job painting a cow from her grandparents farm and their cute chocolate lab pup, Lincoln.
Great job!
Logan, a long-time art student and VERY talented painter, chose to paint an interesting view of the carnival. So clever. Super work Logan.
