Painting








After working on his letters, Gavin made a bee painting. First he glued circles together in front of a hexagon to make a bee coming out of a hive, then used a crayon to add six legs, a face and antennae, then he painted around the hive. He did a great job! Usually he only uses two or three colors and most of the paper is left unpainted, but today he used lots of colors and painted everything! It looks really nice. While he was painting, Gavin told me about bees, including the little known facts that they only come out at night when it's going to rain which is why there are black storm clouds and a sunset in his picture.

P.S. Gavin doesn't have a shirt on because he was painting today. It's just easier that way!
