We had two terrific art classes yesterday.
First, the young artists painted cantaloupe. They did a great job!
And then the adults painted. They are all doing great work and getting better and better all the time. Good job everyone!!!

My favorite piece that Picasso ever made was not one of his paintings but one of his sculptures. And it was on display at the exhibit in Richmond….The Goat. I love it. I’ve seen it in books for years but I wasn’t prepared for how large it was….bigger than life-size! Fabulous!!! If you get a chance to see this exhibit before it leaves Richmond in a few days you should go. It’s amazing!!!

Yesterday, Kym and I appeared on Warren County Today radio show with Mario Retrosi. We talked about the Art Residency project with the 4th graders, the “Bark for the Park” Art Show and Sale at the Community Center, and the upcoming art shows at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.
Well, radio really works! One of the things I said while talking about the dog park was that if everyone who has a dog or loves dogs would just donate $20 or $25 then we would have the money we need to begin building the park. When we came out of the studio 30 minutes later there was a wonderful lady waiting to meet me. She heard us talking on the radio and wanted to bring a check by to donate to the park project. You can hear us on Valley Today by clicking this link and then clicking on the Thursday, April 21 date. http://www.theriver953online.com/page.php?page_id=41558
RADIO REALLY WORKS!!!!
