It Lights the Whole Sky

Even after

All this time

The sun never says

to the Earth, 

"You owe me." 

Look what happens

With a love like that

It lights the whole sky.

And through it all we can keep smiling...

...because there's power in optimism.

And I continue to be inspired by one of my student's drawings. :-)

Also, I love using small canvases as paint pallets and then painting on top of what becomes a very colorful, highly textured surface.

Peace, Love, and Pussyhats Stick Figure

You likely know that for 13 years I've been working with three, four, and five year olds who happen to have disabilities. I was recently inspired by the cutest little stick figure that one of my students drew, so I drew my own...a la pussyhat! I think I'm in love with her! And I put her on t-shirts and mugs! (Click on those words if you want to see them in my Zazzle shop.)

Her face becomes the color of the shirt. I love this!
