Crazy Busy Art Room Art Prompt 46

This is our very last art prompt for the school year.  What a crazy school year it has been!  I am keeping my fingers crossed that when we start our next school year we will have a situation that seems a bit more familiar to all of us.  I sure do miss seeing all of you every day.  I miss your smiles, your stories and your hugs.  Keep drawing, painting and creating this summer.  It is good for your brain and good for your soul.  If you want to do any of these prompts over again, do a Google search for Crazy Busy Art Room on blogspot.  You will find the prompts under the label Art Prompts.  I hope you all have a wonderful summer!
