Artsy Fartsy Stuff with the Kid

I'm artsy and my daughter's artsy.  I'm trying to help develop her technique.   I admit my formal training is limited in certain disciplines.  For example: painting.  My painting instruction is limited to the Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. Before you laugh, I know I can't be the only one making happy trees.

My daughter had to make a diorama of the tundra for class. So guess who decided to make it into a painting lesson? 

Painted with acrylic paint in a Payless shoe box. (Yeah, we recycle/reuse/remix like that)

It took about a week to complete.  I think it came out pretty well considering she doesn't paint often and I didn't help (take over) too much.  I let her choose the colors and basically just defined things a bit when she went off track. For example, she picked turquoise blue for the sky.  I softened it by adding the clouds by dabbing on white paint with a crumpled paper towel. 

October 29, 2011? Really?

Just some pics from the neighborhood this past Saturday when we got hit with an early Nor'easter.

Today was supposed to be new release day

Unfortunately, my printer is refusing to print back copy so production is a bit delayed.  I plan on releasing new holiday cards this month. Just need to sort out my printer issues first.  I haven't printed new back copy during my break to finish grad school. And during late summer's hurricane, the printer got some water damage from a leak.  I'm thinking its time to look for replacements.  It is five years old and I really want a wireless printer.  Any suggestions?
