Brian’s Art!
Today we saw that a piece of Brian’s art was selected for the NC State Fair! We’re not even sure which one it is yet, but we can’t wait to see it! Brian has been doing an after-school enrichment art class , and has made some really neat things there. Here are some photos of the master in action, provided by his...

Of course we asked him, but usually all he felt like talking about was playing at after-care, or nothing at all. Certainly nothing about the ancient Greeks and Romans! We weren’t even sure if he was having a great time there..! But today, all of that changed, when we came to his art show. We had told...
