Wednesday, June 24, 2015. We 'travel' around the world learning about various cultures, in my 4th grade art history class. The country of India is one of the cultures we learn about in our 'travels'. And here is one of the art lessons we do when we 'visit' India- creating a crayon resist peacock. The peacock is the national symbol of India and it's known for its beauty and grace. In Hinduism it is associated with Laksmi, the god that represents benevolence, patience, kindness, compassion and good luck.

My desire is to delight your heart and bring a smile to your face. I grew up in the Midwest and enjoyed drawing and art class throughout my school years. After a move to the New York City area, I ignored my art until relocating to Colorado. There I discovered rock painting. My eye is drawn to rocks of all shapes, sizes and textures and I see their potential to come alive with acrylic paint. My specialty is painted rock nativity sets but I also paint whimsical critters and decor. For awhile I've been sear...
