This is something I want to try more as well. This elephant painting I thought was so cool! the colors she chose are really soft and not too bright against the eyes. The movement in the lines is awesome also. I really enjoy looking at Sarahs work.

LINDA NADEL: 

Linda is a painter in Colorado. She mainly uses watercolor. Her art is so cool to me. I love the colors and the brush strokes. She also recently published a children's book which is illustrated with her artwork. I enjoy her paintings a lot because her color choice is really unique. One thing I thought was really cool about this is the splatter look in the background. It looks clean even though its splattered paint.

Snowy Field Trips


We had another snowy field trip! I had alot of fun at CCC. I didnt really know what we were doing going there so I was really shocked when I got a bag full of art supplies and was told to make something out of it. I thought it was really cool to see what everyone came up with. Everyone was so creative! I ended up making a hot air balloon. Katie, Megan, and I enjoyed sitting around in His Bakery during our lunch break. It was very cute and they had great baked goods. We sampled a chocolate muffin that actually tasted like cake. I hope we get to go on one more field trip before the school year is over. :(
