Artist Al

Al Carrillo at Work.

One of the pleasant surprises when I returned to the care home activities room after my vacation was to see Al painting in water color! This is one of the skills that he was developing before my vacation and I thought he would forget about it when I was gone--but there he was with a brush in his hand!

There is a big easel (for posting announcements) in the room and I have some thick-leaded graphite drawing pencils and I think he can reach large pieces of paper if I clip them to the easel so I will soon help him increase his drawing skills in large.

I am curious to see if he enjoys this.
