Also at my old school, I used to enter grades for report cards in a scarf and hat because they turned the heat way down when students weren't in the building to save money.

All I want from a video game movie is for it to be fun for the kids.

A round painting of an orange zinnia with a plain blue background. The painting is sitting on an easel.

Hi Lisa, here's a little painting of a zinnia, 6" round, oil on wood.

It looks like a great start. I took her trompé l’œil workshop last year. It was really good.

They'll also be saying "pencil-crayons," and duo-tang." Teachers should be aware that depending on province and subject, it can be easy to sub but difficult to get a permanent position especially if one is coming from out of province.

A painting of a paper magpie standing on a table with a jumble of jewelry and a reflective silver sphere. The magpie has a crystal earring in its beak.

Just finished, “Myth of the Magpie,” oil on wood panel, 14” x 18.”

I would actually like to see a version with Fleischman in the foreground.

Outside the USA it still appears as the Gulf of Mexico with Gulf of America in parentheses.

An oil painting in which a small cut-paper scene rests on a pink tablecloth in front of a three-paneled mirror. The figure of a woman stands surrounded by blooming forsythia bushes, tulips, and crocuses. She wears a jacket and a scarf that fans out in a breeze though the flowers appear to be quite still. She holds a small forsythia, ready to transplant. The garden extends into the world of the mirror where the woman is reflected three times.

"Dream of a Garden," oil on wood panel, 14" x 18."

I rely on my 20/0 Princeton velvetouch liner to paint the edges of paper. They’re the best detail brushes I’ve found.

This one has some green. Oil on panel 14" square.

I've been enjoying browsing the collection of the Magritte Museum lately. They even have some of his exquisite corpse drawings: fine-arts-museum.be/fr/la-collec...

A drawing in pen and blue ink thinned with water that shows a pair of butterflies behind a pair of glasses resting on a tabletop.

An ink drawing that shows a paper magpie with an earring in its mouth on a tabletop filled with costume jewellery and a reflective sphere.

I did some little ink wash drawings for the first time in a while. It was surprisingly fun to work mostly from memory and imagination.

Fortunately I found schools that taught me to improve instead of telling me to do something else after that.
