Are you as ready as I am to get all smudgy and smeary with oil pastels this summer?
May 25 starts summer art camps in the backyard! Starting out we will take a long look at the cakes and pies created by the American artist Wayne Thiebaud. And then we will begin the absolutely fun part- mixing and layering oil pastels as we create our very own works of art.
I love anticipating how each campers work will look all nicely framed hanging on a wall of honor in their homes or given away as a special gift to bless. I can recall as a kid how I would make a picture with great care to give to my mom or my grandmother for Mother’s Day. To Bless. It has always been about blessing. Art is not just for the artist, but it is also for other people to enjoy.
In the few short days the backyard will be where the action is and amazing things will be created.
See you in the Backyard.
