They incorporate sand into their paintings








From the top Amaya's painting of herself with the observed color of water behind her,Keisha's painting of herself with remembered color of water behond her, artists at work, and our East YMCA second painting beach day. The wind and the beach present opportunities and challenges, which we all embrace. Sand gets into the palettes, the children see it as a way to change the texture. A spill, we decide to pour water from the gulf onto the page. We are honored by a visit from the local paper, the Seacoast Echo.
