Lincoln loves the Koi fish at the pond in front of the cabin. He will stand in the water waiting for them to come to him for 20 minutes. I have to call him out of the water or he would never leave his water friends.

At the end of Art Camp week we always paint a “masterpiece”. This week it was Van Gogh’s Starry Night and we painted it on a 16″x20″ canvas. You can see how large it is with the young artists holding their finished work. What a fabulous job they all did. Don’t you love it.

Art Camp started this week with three enthusiastic painters, Isaac, Mia and Peyton. The first thing we painted was the color wheel while we learned about color mixing.
Next we painted a mountain landscape scene to learn more about paints, brushes, canvas, and palettes.
This week our emphasis for study is Post-Impressionism so we paid homage to Boudin with a copy of his “Two Dogs in the Street”.
And Gauguin’s “The Siesta”.
Can you believe we did all of us this in just two days?
Stay tuned to see what other lovely paintings these young artist make before the end of the week.

I invited some friends out to the cabin for a picnic on the 4th of July. And of course, I invited their dogs.Lincoln, Jed, Dixie and I picked some wild flowers for arrangements to have to greet our friends upon their arrival.
The welcoming committee led people to the yard.
Lincoln decided a cool spot was under the table. I think he really hung out under there to get whatever food might drop from above.
Jed found that scratching his back on the grass was fun.
Lucy and Suzie liked the pond.
Ordo had the BEST time. He went for his first swim in the pond after Jenn showed him how to get into the water. I think he loved it. It was a fun afternoon even though it was hot. The dogs really enjoyed running with new friends. 
Dixie found a spot on the sofa after everyone left and stayed there for the rest of the evening.
