Last Saturday we took a group of teenage artists from Paseo Academy and Pembroke Hill on a painting-and-photography field trip to the Flint Hills. “We” is a group of well-organized parents, teachers, and meself. The idea is to inspire these young adults and provide instruction from professional artists. It culminates in a show at my gallery, which will be in Nov. This is the second year for the program.
Artist-Instructors in order of appearance: Allan Chow, Jane Booth, Zak Barnes, Richard Raney, Jeremy Collins. Then the whole mob at the end.Â
 
 
 
 
 
 
Everyone had a great time, which story is told in part by the photos. Other instructors: Kevin Sink, Brud Jones, Cally Krall, Jonathan Chester, and I don’t remember who-all. Man I love doing this stuff. There are few things better than having an impact on a kid’s growth, whether yours or someone else’s. It’s all one big planet.
Hi:
Looks like the weather and clouds were great for that. They must have had a little more rain lately, because it’s greener than normal for this time of the year. Normally, it sort of reminds of the Sonoma area.
