Bubbles In The Wind

Matthew — Fri, 11 May 2012 22:12:59 +0000

I caught the very end of the May Faire at the Live Oak Waldorf School. Bill was making large bubbles and then Jeff showed me his thumb piano while Kim’s daughter and her friend were playing in the wind with the trees. I added some tracks to Jeff’s thumb piano and here is this little poem. If I had been there for the whole faire, it sure would have been nice….but at least we have this.

LiveOakWaldorf – Summer Camp 2012

Art Dreamers Summer Camp with Matthew Joseph Peak.

Learn, Draw, Inspire, and Paint for one week with a world class fine artist.

The week will start off with sketching and exploring how we see, learning what an artist needs to pay attention to for drawing and painting. We will be discussing and having lessons on lighting, shape, texture, distance, perspective and mood. Then share inspirations and concepts in the preparation of our final project, an oil wash painting on panel.

There will be live demonstrations by Matthew, giving students insight and ideas to fuel their inspirations for years to come!
