This year six Art E Studio students entered their oil paintings into the junior art competition and one entered the amateur art competition. All of them received ribbons most were "Blue" first place ribbons. Jenny Zu won "Best Of Show" for her Turtle painting and she won a "Best of Show" for her pen and ink Owl she entered with her art class at Pleasant Valley High school. It was such a pleasure walking through the halls of the art exhibit. Seeing the work of 100s maybe 1000s of our local junior and high school children on display does my heart good. It proves to me many teachers are working hard to keep art in the schools. I'll be posting the photographs I took of the work with their ribbons this weekend, sooner if I get the chance. See ya then.
 This past weekend ChiVAA (Chico Visual Arts Alliance) put on their first art event "Art Fiesta" at the Matador Motel. The event was well organized and well received. I don't know how many people stopped by my booths, it felt like thousands. I was so busy with the kids in my "painting" booth I didn't have a chance to talk with all the people who stopped in my display booth. However, the ones I did talk to were so surprised and blown away by the quality, expertise and talent of my students. Everyone was shocked to learn how old they were, especially with Annie's painting. I sometimes forget not everyone grew up in an art gallery or had an art teacher for a mother. I'm proud of all my students, young and old(er). Each one strives to learn and improve on their skills. Many have shown their work and have won ribbons. I love showing off their talents when ever I can.
 It's very exciting for me to hold this book in my hands. It really looks good next to the original painting. I sent a copy to my mom for Mother's Day. She was/is my greatest teacher and biggest supporter. I LOVE YOU MOM!
