Erin's painting


This is Erin's painting of Mt. Rainier. She painted it because she really, really, really wants to be near her Aunt Dodi and Uncle Tom who live in Washington. She got an honorable mention for this one. It is an awesome painting and is hanging in my living room. It gets lots of compliments and is so very beautiful!!

Kristen's Painting


This is Kristen's painting from the art show. My favorite part is the hand holding the fan. Hands are hard to draw/paint to begin with. She has really captured it......the shadows..........the foreshortening........perspective.........the works!

Erin's sketch



Here is a sketch that Erin had in the art show. It's a big size, 18" X 24". It's so realistic looking! 2 years in art school has really paid off. ;D

Kristen's water color


This is a water color that Kristen made for the art show. I think it's fabulous! She has a great eye for color and her rendering of the glass vases and bottles is perfection. ;D

Hermit Crab


The student art show was last Friday. Here is Erin's hermit crab sculpture and drawing. She won an honorable mention for the sculpture.

This is Erin with Susan K., her mentor at the NHS function the other night. Erin as a senior member picked someone to honor. It was a wonderful ceremony. It was sweet and tearful. Hearing the stories of the young men and womens mentors was very moving. There was also an induction ceremony for the newly elected members.

Walk-A-Thon Ladies


Here we are on Walk-Thon-Day. L to R: ABA, Erin & Me. It was a 2 mile walk. But we walked there and back and wound up walking 6 miles total. It was fun. :D
