School's Out!

School Study 10"x10" acrylic

I painted this today at school while my students worked diligently on their own paintings -- today was the last day of the semester, and everyone was working on their final masterpieces of the season.

I've been amazed at the quality of work I've been seeing and the desire students have to learn. For many, this is the only time they have for painting -- some are mothers, others work full-time, and most just don't have space at home to paint. It's nice to think I'm enabling people to carve out creative time for themselves.
