Mr. Fish Goes to School


An art project has to go to school tomorrow, so off goes Mr. Fish.
He is acrylic with opaque sequins attached, but we are using a new glue, so what falls off, I told her to leave and call it fish scales!

The Story Wall




This is a long wall that will be covered like a story board. I added a new element today but didn't take a photo as the details are not in place. This is the first teacher mermaid, reading to her class as they settle down in their "clam beds". She has real crystals in her hair and on her tail and yes, I use a special glue so no child has been able to pry one off yet!

The Hall Monitor


I call this fun mural The Hall Monitor because the octopus can see the kids coming and going in all directions!

Kid's Art

Here is the hallway I painted for the elementary school. The children love the bright colors. I love to go back and add elements to the painting and here them say "hey, that wasn't there before!"

Going to the little school to paint

I need to recharge my batteries, so I'm off tomorrow, to work on a wall at least 30+ feet long, and will be tired, but will post some progress.

Conversation Fish

I
I call these conversation fish. This is the second mural I did at the school. It is next to the speech teachers room. All the fish look like they are watching the students go by and have something to say.

A Walk to the Beach


I have to pity anyone who wasn't here, outside today. I walked down to the ocean, the shrimp boats were busy, streets are quiet, no sweater required!
I might have to use the grill, it feels almost like a mild summer day.
The painting is "Mermaid Music" by you know who!

Out of the Box!!!


My dear friend DDB sends me her plants each fall so I have new additions every year. We laugh at the state they arrive in thanks to the shipper, the one pictured was flattened, however I was told if taken care of they can live to be over 50+ years old, and this one has recovered nicely. The flower hibiscus tree featured early was a barren branch that lives on as well!
