Just a quick note to let you know there are new lessons posted on my website and last week's lessons are now on the lesson blogs for kids and for teens and adults. My latest Weekly Nature Watch column is also posted on my website.
Drawing lessons are for both kids and adults.
Ok, so it took me 2 weeks but I finally updated my art lessons on my website and put new info on my new art lesson blogs for kids and teens and adults. I also posted my latest column. Check it out!

Barbara Kingsolver: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)
This book will change the way you look at and buy your food. Never preachy, always informative and interesting, it's also funny and heartwarming. Have I mentioned I love the way Barbara Kingsolver writes? And now she's got the whole family typing away.... (*****)
Jeanne Carbonetti: Tao of Watercolor
This is great eye candy even if you don't do the exercises. (*****)
Natalie Goldberg: Thunder and Lightning: Cracking Open the Writer's Craft
Reading Natalie Goldberg, for me, is like spending time with a good, honest friend. I think she may be single handedly responsible for all the writing we are seeing in cafes and coffeeshops. (*****)
Elizabeth Peavey: Outta My Way: An Odd Life Lived Loudly
I discovered this author while visiting in Maine this spring and want to read more. She was a columnist for a Portland paper. (*****)
Barbara Kingsolver: Small Wonder: Essays
I read everything written by this wonderful writer, naturalist and environmentalist. Her essays are the best. I want to walk in the Arizona desert with her and learn about this place she loves so much. (*****)
Bernie S. Siegel: Peace, Love and Healing
I have had this book on my shelf for years and saw him speak many years ago. With my recent illness I dusted off this book and rediscovered a wonderful gift. (*****)
Jack Canfield: The Success Principles
I have been using this book for months now and have even formed a focus group as a result. I recommend this book to anyone serious about changing their not so successful habits. (*****)
