ART CLASSES FOR ALL

Although I am not currently taking a community college art class, I am learning plenty in Bud's "Challenge 2010" class sponsored by the Northwest Oil Painter's Guild (NOPG). This group of artists is not only encouraging to me but they are providing me with considerable motivation with their impressive works.

My home-schooled grand-daughters are taking classes at a local art school. The twins are mastering their current interest in themes like dragons, medieval characters, and fantasy. They are drawing almost every day and their progress is wonderful.

The drawing the youngest is doing suggests that she has as much talent as her sisters. This sea-horse in its underwater scene is done in charcoal, but it is vibrant with life and motion. Seeing the three girls side-by-side at the drawing boards in class was a treat to Grandpa.

I'm impressed and proud of these three, and I have a two other grand-daughters that are artists too. "My cup runneth over".
