What I Did On My Summer Vacation


These watercolors were painted from photographs I shot while in Finnish Lapland. 
 I really loved using my new camera.  See my photo blog, http://portraitinfinland.blogspot.com/

Teaching and Remembering

 
I am lucky to be teaching at one of the best high schools. According to the Washing Post, High School Challenge 2011, Mystic Valley Regional Charter School is the 7 th best in MA! According to Newsweek, MVRCS is the 4 th best in MA and in the top 10% in the USA. The art room in Massachusetts actually reminds me of my old high school's art room back in Ohio. We used to refer to our art teacher as Mr. Roy G.B.I.V. Houston. The photo above is of me sculpting a coiled ceramic piece, 1969. The man in the background and in the photo below is Mr. Houston my high school art teacher.
