The Sea art camp

Yesterday was the last day of my summer art camp. My enthusiastic and hard working students made this art camp a success and I thank them for it. I am very grateful to have taught such a wonderful and dedicated group. Here are their interpretation of Hokusai's wave. The final project of a seascape was painted on masonite.
