WIC Clinic Kid's Corner

So WIC, I'm just discovering, is a government agency that provides nutritional info and baby food stamps for women, infants and children. They opened a new clinic in Liverpool and I made a picnic scene to play up their Eat Healthy mantra! The characters were based on Eric Rohmann's amazing woodcuts in My Friend Rabbit.

I remembered to take some progress shots this time. :)

Bellevue Heights Nursery School Murals

Here are some of the murals I've painted at Bellevue Heights Nursery School. I tried to imitate Eric Carle's wonderful layering of colors in a hungry caterpillar reading corner.

These painted frames are put in the writing corner (hence the criss-crossing pencils). Poster's devoted to the "child of the week" are hung within the frames - showing off drawings and pictures of the lucky student!

The sunflowers are painted by the front door. I painted inches climbing up one stalk so that the teachers can measure students' heights easily.

I painted a fun tree, full of birds and squirrels in the "Quiet Room". The grassy meadow makes a good disguise for ugly radiators.
