On the first day in Indonesia, I got to teach an art lesson to a group of children... 2 hours surrounded by 60 kids ages 5-13 none of whom spoke a word of English... I painted a sunset, then they each created one of their own.
It...
was...
wonderful...
... like a dream I never even thought to dream.
On the last day in Indonesia, I got to enjoy an evening surrounded by new friends... Walking with feet in the waves... picking up shells and bits of coral... then sitting down to a food-filled a table in the sand watching sun set over the ocean...
It...
was.....
wonderful...
... like a dream I never even thought to dream.
** Thanks to a precious interpreter who
made the art experience work seamlessly.
** Thanks to my friend Olga who was the
perfect model for the painting I knew I'd do.
