Zack's photo

My grandson Zack asked me to paint this picture for him. He is an amazing little guy who is 4 years old. We went to a photo class at the zoo. He took this picture before the class and really liked it. I painted it for him and it now hangs in his bedroom. He says he loves the picture because the flowers up front are clear and the ones in back are blurry. I don't know were he comes up with this stuff but he is right on with depth perception. He also loves the shadows. I really love the picture too. It is a watercolor pencil on canvas picture.

The Things that make my life OK

Here is my buddy and his picture and the ribbon. Boy was he proud. These are the things that make things OK in my life. I won my case for disability so now I will get Medicaid to help with the health help I will need.

Second Picture in Art Prize

Well its a new day and here is the second picture that will be involved in Art Prize. Tomorrow I will have professional shots of the pictures and also of myself. Never really thought of doing that before. Zack, My 4 year old Grandson and myself will be in an art show in Sparta Michigan. He's a great kid with a great imagination and already quite the photographer (see the picture of the cactus above that he put in the Sparta show). I get a kick out of him because he is always telling me he has put in pictures to the kids "Art Surprise" and he always wins because other people just put plain pieces of paper. He wants me to enter this contest too. He is really excited about the show in Sparta. The people there do not think he took the picture by himself because it was framed so nicely and looked so professional. I am making a photo book of his shots for him to show off at the show.
