I was happy to paint with these awesome young artists from Mira Mesa for Sydney’s 9th Unicorn Birthday. The day was really cloudy at Breen Park, but we were lucky and experienced no rain at all. My young artists had so much energy and all of their paintings turned out so colorful and fun!
My students and I prettied up some boxes by the park near Ericson elementary. Lots of people passing by thanked them for their efforts and I’m proud of my students.
My young artists at Sandburg Elementary made some beautiful art for their butterfly garden and we even got some visitors. ?✨?

This is my end of the summer painting. Behold, a watermelown! ? I love to engage my community especially through public art.
I taught my student last night how to paint mountains in the great Bob Ross’ style. We have learned techniques such as “happy clouds” and to “beat the devil out” of brushes. On a serious note though his brush loading, pallet knife, and blending techniques are pretty ace.
