"LA CASA DE DON PEDRO/ spring break  carnival   
 April 17th, 2009   Newark, NJ

This was the reason why i was teaching Ms Garcia, Ms Nancy, Ms O, and Ms Otero to face paint. We were going to need help painting all the children at this carnival. The day was a hit! With all the activities that were going on our table was the busiest. I was very proud of my ladies. They worked very hard and the two that had actually not had any actual practice did great.
Even "Batman" aka Officer Ortiz of the Newark chapter of D.A.R.E. showed up and  I made a big deal ,to the extreme amusement of the children, about having a crush on him. I sent 4 painted jokers out to bring him to me but only one was successful. My models giggled themselves to death as they saw him sneak up behind me to compliment my work.  I don't have a lot of pics because i was so busy, but here are some sent to me by David Castillo , of " la casa".

 "When life closes all doors, God opens a window!"

This is an actual door that was sent to me by Ms. Silvia Stone, the service coordinator for the East Orange, CPNJ facility, to paint in whatever way i saw fit. I chose to paint the window that God opened for me with my painting and clowning!
