Hi all. It’s a brand new year, which means we have a possibility of 52 full weeks of Reader Art of the Week in 2011. So let’s get right to it!
This week’s art comes to us courtesy of blog reader Oscar. Check it out:
Wow! Oscar tells me he painted this picture of a Scottish castle from a book during two sessions of his acrylic painting class. In Oscar’s own words:
I first painted the whole picture with blue, then added some mountains. Then I added another layer of mountains on top with trees. Finally, I added some more details and did the big tree.
Personally, I love how Oscar captured the reflection of the castle on the water. I’ve never painted with acrylic paint, but I can’t imagine that’s an easy task!
Many thanks to Oscar for sending in his painting. If you want to see your art on the OWL blog, just send it to me at owlblog@owlkids.com. We have 51 weeks of 2011 yet to fill!

Hi Craig,

Thanks for all your comments! Craig, it’s not an easy task by the way.
Hi Nicole! The invitation to join next year’s Think Tank will be published in the April issue (which will be mailed out at the end of March). Look for it there, and then just send in the form. Sneak preview: this year, everyone who applies will be entered into a draw to win a wickedly retro OWL T-shirt!
As for the rest of your questions, I’ll try to get to them in the next mailbag!
