The wonderful wizards of Art…

The Magic Mile 2.5"x3.5" watercolor painted in NYC after a visit to the Met

Most of you know that when I am not painting far too tiny artworks or cooking new dishes I spend a lot of time in my art classroom trying to give 5-12 year olds an art education.  As a professional in the field I feel it’s my duty to develop my skills and learn from the experts….let’s say wizards of art.

Tomorrow I will whisk away to New York City to attend a conference of Art Educators. I’ll be traveling solo and as you might remember from my notorious #eatpaintNYC trip in 2011 I’ll be anxiously tweeting away my nervous tension that comes when traveling alone. My husband and daughter enjoyed my tweets from last time and I find it a very cozy yet public way to keep up with what’s going on. Follow me on the twitter at www.twitter.com/eatpaintlauren (you don’t need an account to read the tweets).

Wish me luck! And with any luck at all I’ll come home a smarter better educator and an inspired painter of far too tiny artworks
