Painting class is going well. This week I have 15 great kids, ages 5-7. Yesterday we painted tempera paint landscapes using primary and secondary colors and today we had a blast exploring the properties of watercolors. They could not get enough of the magic of watercolors spreading, running into each other, overlapping and creating unpredictable, beautiful art. Everyone was equally fascinated with the way oil pastels resist watercolor, above.
After class today I went to Red Rocks, another one of my favorite places, to see "The Princess Bride". They show movies there all summer long on a giant screen. I had a nice little walk around the incredible rocks before going into the amphitheater. It was fun being part of the crowd, everyone boos the king, cheers the heroes and recites famous lines with the characters in the movie, "that's inconceivable!" Being out in that cool Denver breeze, under the clear, starry sky, surrounded by huge, amazing rock formations... this place is magical.
