I teach an Art Masters class at my son's elementary school.  Today we did a project based on the art of Jacob Lawrence.  What I've always loved about his art is his powerful story.  So we talked a lot about our figures.  Who are they?  How do they feel about this school?  We imagined them to have come from the Underground Railroad.  The students all made up their own great stories for their work. 

Here's my finished commissioned Pepperdine watercolor painting, with my big fat copyright across the center.  I was happy with it!
