My Art students!

I teach art classes to elementary aged students twice a month. I am always amazed at how talented my students are and how fast they learn- I really enjoy teaching them!

The above paintings were painted two of my students. By a seven year old (left) and a six year old (right.)

Sunflower

This one's almost done. I like to take pictures or paintings that I've seen and not only repaint them, but take the concept of the previous paninting and totally remake it into something more my style of art. As you can see with this painting, I changed the color scheme and some of the flower too, while keeping the same basic idea of a sunflower. (Used Oil paints.)

Sailing Boats

Sisley's painting (right) and Mine (left) I did a remake of his original painting called "Sailing Boats."

Painted with Acrylics on wood. (:

Red Rose with a Yellow Background

I painted this picture as a gift for my Grandparents. When I was six, the first painting I painted for them was of a red flower with a yellow background. It looked like a stick figure flower to say the least, so I decided to make another painting with the same subject: a red flower with a yellow background...Nine years later, I hope I've improved on my flower painting skills ;)

Impressionist NY Street

Saw a painting in a book called Problem Solving for Oil Painters by Gregg Kruetz. I liked the painting so much, I decided to paint one like it to practice painting in this style. Gregg Kruetz is a fantastic artist, here is my rendition of his painting!
