It is very rewarding to see the children light up when they get to see the results. As I speak with my little guest its funny when they're deciding just the right color for their mouse or butterfly. It's beautiful to see a little personality forming on the simple decisions made in the chair besides me. It is also very rewarding to see adults jump in on the fun and show the world they are still a kid at heart.
Check back for more video of Sarah's opening!

August 31st we went to Schiller park with a 4x8 feet coloring surface. We brought 20 gallons of paint and a box of pastels. Unfortunately there were more dogs then kids at the park. So we were unable to finish the first panel and did not use the paint this time around. However it does not take many kids to make this art adventure a blast!+010.jpg)
We choose to do this event at Schiller park to help raise awareness of the group show happening at ClaySpace. The next location we are scouting out for this event is the children's hospital park.+035.jpg)
I love this event because it's great way to interact with the kids. Most people are surprised to see us out there with a large art project and a huge tarp covered with paint cans. But the children know an opportunity when they see one and jump right in as soon as they get the green light from mom or dad. Even a few adults and teenagers had some fun with the over-sized coloring book.+037.jpg)
This is the first of many panels that we are going to produce. Each one will be colored/painted on location together with an unsuspecting group of little artists.

In 2007 we gathered each Sunday night to pray for the arts community in Columbus. We met Sunday evenings at 7:00pm, ate together and prayed for the community.
We prayed for individual needs as well as the communities needs. We prayed for arts in the church and in Columbus. We prayed and we listened. www.visualsanctuary.org
We visited Blendon woods on the North East tip of Columbus. It was earlier in August, that day the heat was not too extreme. We found a large shaded spot near the woods and and set up our art artillery. We all had our own projects and we were able to work along side each other. We also had the opportunity to pray for one of our artist at the end of our time together. 
We joined potluck in the park on August 17th at Whetstone park. We brought food & drink and feasted & face painted. Our sign read free face painting and though we set up with the intent to paint kid's faces, we ended up painting as many adult arms as we did faces.
It was a fun opportunity to share what we have with the larger community. Several of the events we put on will happen again so don't put on sad face, but shoot us an email and we'll let you know when the event will happen again.
Painting on location might feel like exercise but after you get use to it, exercise is so much fun. The image above is half painting and half photo (painting 100% Plein Air). 
The third week of the arts outing we decided to take a trip to Cincinnati and visit Vineyard Central. We had a chance to explore a new place and build community. Two of our members had previously lived in Cincinnati and served as gracious tour guides. Besides visiting two Vineyard communities we also visited several museums and gardens in Cincinnati and Kentucky. (Alex) One of my favorite parts was the history museum in the Union Station Museums, it was like a portal into the past. You started from most recent history and ascended into the late 18th century. I also enjoyed the opportunity to draw historical objects.
