West Elementary School

Today I traveled to Hutchinson, Minnesota to talk with the first graders at West Elementary School. During my tater-tot hot dish lunch I was able to enjoy some miniature books the students had written and illustrated.

I'd like to thank Matt and Jadon for sharing their drawings with me.

Wall Art

Over the last few months, my art endeavors have been mostly focused on our son Anslee. He has autism and has become tired of our long Minnesota winter. To bring him a little Springtime joy, the other two children and I have been painting objects on his bedroom walls. Here we have "Brown Bear" by me and a hint of "Care Bear" by Anslee's older sister Aubrey.

Anslee enjoys having conversations with some of the wall characters, but he doesn't say all that much to the brown bear.


Stay warm,

Jim
