Bones Jones did great modeling for us last week.  You can see all of the work here  and on the Top of the World Facebook page and if you befriend me I can tag you on your kid’s pix.  If you Subscribe to this blog, you’ll be notified by email of weekly updates.

This week’s featured picture was done by Jack Cleland in 2012 when he was in first grade. Jack started in 2011 when he was in kindergarten, and now he’s in 5th grade.  He’s rarely missed a class in all of these years!

Nelson Telson

I just got a shipment of my book, Nelson Telson – The Story of a True Blue Blood that recently won a READERS’ CHOICE GOLD MEDAL!  Readers of all ages enjoy the book, and it’s a great gift. The cool thing here is that kids can not only read a really good book that their teacher wrote and illustrated (see the reviews https://www.amazon.com/Nelson-Telson-Story-True-Blood/dp/1499538448 ) but also see ways they can use their art in pragmatic and exciting ways. Currently I am a director of and working with the Huck-Fin Environmental Education 501c3 to create a curriculum based on the book. It’s very exciting. Let me know if you’d like a copy inscribed for someone and signed by me, and I’ll put one aside. $15 tax included.

 
 
 
THIS WEEK – The Great Halloween Candy Challenge. If you wanna eat it, you gotta paint it. Artists approach the candy composition by drawing the negative space where the candy isn’t first. 🙂
