Pumpkin Artiste

It starts with some paint, a pumpkin...

and a vision.

Then the artiste gets to work.

Swirls of paint on a palette...

paintbrush posed...

and a carefully applied dab.

Deep concentration sets in.

And at long last the work of art is finished.

And the artiste sits back.
To contemplate her next masterpiece.

Currently Reading

I have read Wally Lamb's first two novels, and while they are definitely not light reads, they were both fabulous. I hate to say this, but I just wasn't a fan of this one. It felt like Lamb was just trying too hard. I'm a bit disappointed. Skip this one and read his first two books.

I'm neck deep in elementary school research, so that might be why this book appealed to me so much, but frankly if you have kids, you're going to love this true, funny, sweet, and touching window into a third grade classroom. Then you're going to Google the teacher to see if you can send your kid to his school. Oh, wait. Maybe that's just me.
