    Ha, I guess you've got to be a little nuts, to do this.:D Sometimes it's just a show to let them know it's OK to be creative in this environment, especially around kids who can be so judgmental. Takes the pressure off of them and onto us.

    Seriously beautiful work man! I like that you work with different mediums, not just pigeon-holing yourself to one thing.

    Here's a little more. Started in on the rocks and gravel. Layering the color, light to dark.
    This is all for today, time to go pick up the kids in the tacobus! Will post more tomorrow. If anyone has questions or comments please leave a post or PM me.

    Thanks, I think I would get bored if I only did one medium. With the way my classes are set up I don't have a choice. I bounce between, ceramics and sculpture one period to drawing and painting the next all day long.

    My Schedule today limits me greatly so I don't foresee a whole lot getting accomplished, but I will try to put in a few minutes here and there to pick away at it. We'll see what happens. I was able to demo a couple of things in the painting yesterday to some students maybe I'll get a chance to do that today as well...
