Pure Art

This week's painting of the week is actually one of my favorites so far. It is very unique and beautiful.
As you can see this is a top of the class painting that is just one of a kind. The background really brings out the orange in the fruit and flowers. The shading used in this piece of art is just great. It is a very wonderful painting and one of the best around.

The Painting Page

This weeks pretty painting is.......

This beautiful painting really portrays what art is really about in my opinion. The various shades of orange and the background are top of the class. You can tell the artist was very calm when painting this because of the shades he used and the size of the oranges he chose. All in all this is a great painting and looks great with the different shades.

Grace Academy Sports

Grace Academy sports have been going great this year. The varsity team in basketball has been doing great!! The Soccer team that went for NACA won the tournament! One thing that has not been doing well is the tennis team. The girls had a tennis team almost every year. The guys on the other hand, pretty much never had a tennis team. About 5 to 6 people sign up for the team every year. That is not enough to run a tennis team. We have many great tennis players but none of them play. If we got every single tennis player to play we would have a chance to win the State Championships! Hopefully this year we can have a tennis team
. You can be of any level and remember to have fun!
