My Children's Stories

Lois DeWitt




25% off Books from BetterWorldBooks at AbeBooks



I have written and illustrated two stories for children, specifically to share them online with all who visit the Free Online Art Classes website.

They were a lot of fun to do and I hope you enjoy them and are inspired to write and illustrate your own stories! As always, they are free for you to read. Just email me (below) and request the stories.


The first story, "Black Charles and Mrs. Gray," is actually about myself and my Standard Poodle pup, Charley. We do attend dog obedience, tricks training and agility classes, although, to date, Charley has not had an opportunity to accost a robber and become a hero. He is fond of digging and loves to run and jump over things.


Happy New Year! 2012 picture of Charley, looking handsomer than ever!


Standard poodle,Charley,Black Charles and Mrs. Gray Charley's Healthy Dog Blog

Hi! I'm Charley! I was just a year old when my owner, Lois, made a blog just for me! Now I'm five! Lois says that eating healthy food and getting plenty of exercise is important, not just for Standard poodles like me, but for all dogs!

Find out how I did in Obedience, Canine Good Citizen and Agility classes. I just finished the "Hollywood Stars" Tricks Training Class. That was my favorite!

To learn more about Charley, visit his blog.


Meet some of Charley's fans at this fun blog!

My good friend Georgia Mullen has written and published "A Shocking And Unnatural Incident," a most amazing book about temperance, women's rights, abolition and three girls caught up in the turmoil of the time.

Old Dog Treats Website

Always Provide Your Old Dog With A Quality Diet, Social Activity, Exercise And Professional Veterinary Care

Once dogs reach the age of eight, many professional breeders and Veterinarians consider them to be seniors and old dogs. Since all of our dogs have been large and lived to be fourteen (the youngest), I don't necessarily agree with that thinking. Yet, my goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to find the best dog products, dog supplies and resources available for your aging dog.


John Hartung's Art That Smiles website. Brighten your day with upbeat artwork!

Wonderful, awesome and humorous photos--all are available for purchase at John Hartung's website.

Decorate your walls with these inspiring, uplifting photos. Give them as gifts to brighten the days of your friends and loved ones.


 



Student Testimonials

Thank you. I found you through a google search on collograph printing and saw your demonstration on youtube.com. I enjoyed your watercolor painting of the tree on there as well. I am from the Orlando Florida area.

Thanks again,

Hiya,

I found your sight through a simple Google search 'free oil pastel lessons'. I come from the south west of England and I am a teenager just starting out in the medium.

Thanks again for a wonderful free service,

Tom C.


I would love to elaborate. I am thinking about going back to school in the fall and I wanted to try my hand at something before going back. The degree I am considering allows for life experience and independent learning, such as this, to earn credit. Your site is wonderful and in my opinion very user friendly. I love it and intend to use it again in the future. Thank you for making learning accessible. If you would like to keep in touch with me for more information, maybe about how I am doing with your classes, please feel free.

Again, thank you.

Ms. DeWitt,

Thank you for the drawing with pencil and oil pastel video instruction. I live in Maryland and I was in a bind because my son's art teacher became ill in the last two weeks of class for the summer. I home school, so I googled free art classes on-line and found your website. We will be working on these lessons this week. They are having a great time with the doodling with pastels exercise. We plan on visiting some art museums next week to round out their introduction art experience.

Thanks again,

C Foster
