I encourage aging people that are suffering from all forms of dementia to paint. Most of them have never painted before and it's amazing the beautiful watercolors they do. I love the challenge of encouraging them, having them enjoy themselves and being so proud when they end up with a great painting.
Here is a short video showing what these great art classes are all about.

This canvas was originally from "Day 92" and it needed a little help. It was inspired by Allan. He loves the mountains and did a great painting with a skier swishing down the hill. It will be in the Alzheimer's Association Art Auction this year on June 11th. There is a lot of white, and blue and green because we all know that snow is every color but white.
