Navigating the aftermath

What a great show, I enjoyed being a part of it. My Camouflage of Peace looked good on the wall, our group meeting went well, we painted with Golden Paints and mediums, Fun!! After the meeting we all went to the theatre to watch the movie of the effect on the people of Iraq, very powerful, we Americans have it too good.

Taking in painting to be shown

I took in my mixed media collage of the face titled "Camouflage of Peace"  It was so great of Heidi  Steadman to put my piece in the Navigating the Aftermath Summer Tour event at the Paramount Theatre from Sept 23 - October 6 2011. A traveling show, the Iraqi and American Reconciliation Project.  Such great stuff was being placed on the wall. Eight years into an ongoing war in Iraq: Where do we go from here.
Americans and Iraquis explore the effects of the Iraq War to chart a course towards healing and reconciliation.

Art class at the nursing home.

Had a nice class of watercolor and crayon resist on watercolor paper.  The residents stayed interested and were very active, selecting colors, trying new things, the men were really working hard, I had  a John Deere tractor from the 50's foer them to work with, the ladies all selected to create flowers.  A good evening activity.

Color changes
