Even More New Art from the Boys at Schaefer House

More outstanding work from our high school boys in the William Donald Schaefer House (a halfway house-style detention center; MD Dept. of Juvenile Services).
Roy continues to blow us away with his painstaking attention to detail and perseverance. Here is the heart in stages 1, 2, and 3 that he made for his daughter.

Copper Lion Revisited | Paper 24


("You are the best human I know. Thanks for making me want to be the best human I can be.")

Certainly that must be worth much.
Acrylic and mixed media on wood, 9"x5 1/2".

Shameful to think that if my wallet had gone missing, so may have this little piece of paper. So I made it part of this piece. Shameful to know that it's doubtful I can use it as my resume.

Tiny Fruits

Marker, watercolor, and ink on paper.
Origination: If I have a moment to put marker to paper, it's usually fruit that comes out. Just for fun. The simplest stupid indulgence.
