You can tell I'm still under the Gustav Klimt influence. Yesterday, I taught at Los Penasquitos Elementary, and one of the 4th grade girls wanted to show me her sketchbook. She told me how she carried it in her backpack, along with her art pencils. Inside, she'd sketched her neighbors placemat, her bookcase, and her front door. Ah! The Danny Gregory influence! I looked her in the eye and told her how proud I was of her. Moments like that make teaching art so rewarding.

This is gorgeous. And yes, make art not war! Where would we be today if our president had some artistic sensitivity? Not where we are now, for sure...
