Ruby Red Slippers?

Another long day at school, you know the usual, yard duty, staff meeting after school, the life of a teacher never ends with the parts that make teaching not nice. But with another day of "my family" themed artworks, here are the latest...

-These are Year 3 magic scratch paper portraits. The students just love the scratch paper.... it is very special, as magic scratch paper only comes out in special occasions... this is one of them! I got them to mount the family portraits on coloured card and then frame/ border the artwork as well as signing their own names. Some were amazing, you just never know what masterpieces they will create.

Here are some of my works in progress... This one is a gouache on paper... what do you think??

Not quite finished yet, is this one is another gouache on canvas, something different to try... I love colour and did you notice the girls' shoes??? Yes RED!!!! One can't go anywhere with out the ruby red slippers!!! Neither gouaches are finished, a total work in progress.... Hmmmm where are my red slippers???

Of-course my ruby red slippers are not as glamorous as the real ruby RED slippers. So again, the day ends with red..... Lets see shall we?? Wouldn't it be nice to visit the land of Oz? Munchkins, the Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow... One of my favourite books and movies of all time... Ahhhhhhhh Ruby Red Slippers. There is no place like home!
