Saxon’s pre-school, The Learning Tree School, is having their Spring Auction and Party,Bella Notte
on Thursday, April 8.

Somehow, I got volunteered to be in charge of the class art project that will be auctioned off. I collaborated with Saxon’s teacher, Ms. Ruth, and her class to create a work of art called Learning Tree Hands.

If you guessed that I was trying to create a photograph of a clean, perfectly-symmetrical circle from their little hands, you would be absolutely correct. Seriously, what was I thinking? Initially deflated at my inability to nail the shot I had preconceived, but when I returned to the studio, I realized three and four year olds are rarely perfect and rarely clean. So, I thought this was a perfect portrait of little Learning Tree Hands, illustrating both the independence and the differences/similarities of the children.

Using the image, I created the class art project (titled, Learning Tree Hands) as a limited-edition, ready-to-hang (no frame required!) metallic gallery wrap. Hopefully, parents will see this as being perfect for their child’s room, playroom or some other fun place in their house and start a bidding war for charity.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…No, not Christmas. March Madness.

Check out expert picks at ESPN. Stop whining about time. Surely you’re not busier than Prez Obama who had time to fill out his bracket that features KU, Villanova, Kentucky and K-State in the final four.

The MoseleyWorld competition is here. Play me?

It’s becoming almost as popular (at least by the media) to hate Google as it is to hate Wal-mart. But, I challenge you to watch the Google commercial that aired during the Super Bowl and not find it endearing. Google did a great job of giving a personality to a HUGE company while demonstrating not only what their product is, but how well it works.

Sorry, this ad contained no talking animals or babies, gonad punching, football or guys in their underwear (whoa!). But maybe that’s why it was a breath of fresh air, a departure from the lowbrow tone taken by most of the commercials aired during the big game. BTW, who dat!

A couple of pictures of the girls, fresh out of the camera. Have a great weekend.
