These are some of the young artists who were in my mentoring program this year at Paseo Academy.  They had their senior show this weekend.  My wife and I attended last night.  Man, it was fine.  So much passion and originality.  Several kids have gotten full rides to area universities.  Made me very proud to be a small part of their growth.

The kid in the apron, Rodrigo, is an extremely talented metal sculptor and painter.  I’m going to get him an apprenticeship this summer in Arlie Regier’s studio.  I know Arlie will teach him things that he wouldn’t learn elsewhere.  Expect it to go quite well.
