This is a shout out to the 3rd Graders at Kasson-Mantorville Elementary!  Get ready, because here I come.   I will seeing you on Tuesday, May 3rd.   I am so looking forward to working and talking with  you about Art.  See ya soon.   Here's my recently finished portrait of my third book's animal characters.  

Oh my! I sure had fun last Friday night in Grand Rapids when my former student teacher Victoria Kragthorpe invited me to join her for the city's First Friday Art Walk.  It took place in Grand Rapid's famous Old School House loft area where Victoria has an Artist Spot.  I did a book signing and connecting with new and former patrons of my books and art work.
Thanks Victoria!
