How big a bubble can you blow?

With the dreary winter weather outside,

I thought it was time for something bright and cheery...

so bring on the gum-balls!

The only problem with this lesson is that 

there is no gum chewing at school.

The example above is mine.  

The students used 4 different brushes in this lesson

and how to shade circles to make them appear 3D.

I do believe I would like a piece of gum...

happy birthday Nick!

Happy birthday to my 24 year old-

We love you Nicholas!

What's the opposite of the winter blues?

What's the opposite of the winter blues?

Hmmm... 

These artists painted with blue,

but these critters are definitely not blue-

could it be they have the winter whites?

Well they give me a winter smile
and make those blues just disappear...

Hi, do you like my nose?

Love the Impressionistic quality...

Once there were two white bunnies living in the snow.

A young women invited them inside,

and they rejoiced and spent the winter

playing games,

entertaining her,

and munching carrots from the greenhouse.

They presented her with a ring to repay her thoughtfulness.

fyi-the 3rd carrot is on her finger in case you were counting.
