20180625_180521-1.jpgWe started Modern Art Camp week for young painters ages 8-13 yesterday.  We have such an exciting week planned.  Our first painting featured Georgia O’Keeffe’s “Peach and Glass” from 1927.  The kids did an amazing job on this one.  And they even had time to create a little bonus painting of a donut with sprinkles!  If you have a young person, ages 5-13, that is interested in painting be sure to check out this page with the schedule for this summer’s art camp sessions.  They’ll love it! 20180625_180725.jpg

A Look at Hopper at the Met
