Friday I had the good fortune to be the Artist In Residence at the Furnace Brook School and once again, really enjoyed sharing my painting process with the kids. I set up two easels and I painted on one, and every middle schooler that WANTED to paint, could on the other one.
Every year, every single boy asks if they can eat the props. This year a huge black fly kept alighting on them, but even telling them that, most of them still said they'd eat them. These days I'd probably go to jail for letting kids eat donuts at school, so I always say "I wish I could, but :D no...."
This day, with all those kids who maybe never put oil paint on a canvas before joining in... is a highlight of my year. Thanks to the Parent-Teacher organization for sponsoring it every single month!
Love your doughnut paintings and this one is special. A Trifecta of sweetness! Sounds like an amazing day!!
ReplyDeleteI so love knowing you do this, Kelley. I hope this is something the kids will remember and appreciate throughout their lives.
ReplyDeleteVery cool Kelley! I too would still eat the donuts
ReplyDeleteTotally luscious. And what lucky kids. How tempting to be painting donuts with you. I am sure they had a lot of stories to tell.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing for you to do Kelley. I bet you made some kids day.
ReplyDeleteMy fav' subject - and in triplicate! Wonderful, colorful assortment Contessa.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exquisite painting--I love it. And I love you for the experience you give these deserving children. I know you must have been on cloud nine when the day was over.
