Artist's Delight

Sweet story about a boy who learns his art by watching different artists. He learns how to paint the wind by showing movement in his art. Good read aloud for elementary grades.

a beautiful book...

A young boy that lives on an island loves to paint, but he is frustrated because he has never been able to paint the wind. In the summer, many artists come to the island to paint. The young boy paints with the artists and learns a great deal. At the end of one summer, he realizes that he has captured the wind on canvas.
