Art!

I went painting again last night! It was a very last minute thing. It just so happened that a couple of friends could go last minute too! We were painting daisies.
I was brave enough this time to go totally different...and do a purple background instead of the black that was in the example.

I also ended up changing the centers of my daisies to pink, and it made a perfect painting for Katie's room!
I realized after I uploaded this photo, that it is technically upside down from the way I painted it, but it doesn't really matter! ha ha!
It was so fun! I am trying to get a group together to go March 26th. It's a very cute painting and a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. And a Friday. Maybe more people can go next time!

Girls' Art Night Out!

Last night I went painting again with a group of friends. Bethany, Emilee (her sister), Chris F, Laura W., and I went out for a night out for Bethany's 30th birthday. We went to the same place I posted about before where you pay $25 and they walk you through step by step painting a 16x20 canvas that you take home at the end. It really is fun and again, we got to see how different personalities shine through with the same picture and instruction. Last night the painting was "crazy flowers." Mine actually got pretty crazy because I was NOT patient enough to paint precise little circles like the teacher was showing us to do...ha ha. You can read Bethany's blog about it by clicking on the link at the beginning of the post....

My "crazy" flowers.
Of course, my children are my biggest fans, so they wanted a picture with my masterpiece.

Here is a group shot that I stole from Bethany's post (thanks!). Isn't it so cool how everyone's interpretation is so different? It was a fun night! We stopped at Steak and Shake on the way home and didn't get home until AFTER MIDNIGHT on a TUESDAY! WOW, pretty wild night, HA!
