Painting Class

I have enjoyed the third year of my painting classes so much. Each year I learn a little more and have more fun than I ever thought I could...We have a super lady that encourages us, spoils us and laughs right along with us. This year she really went out of her way to reach out and explore new ideas with us and for us. Even though our classes end in September, due to her needing time to get ready for her craft shows, she offered us special class one night class in October, but that took some of us 2 nights...lol
I loved this idea from the day I saw it...and encouraged her to teach this class... Again each of our finished project is different from any one else's...but then in art, don't we all usually SEE things through different eyes ? ...

Mine is not exactly as I had visioned it, but I am happy with it...though I already see things that I wish I had done differently...
Again, thank you Lisa for all you teach us, and all you share with us... You are truly an amazing lady...

Over the weekend we had some family pictures taken by a friend...We wanted some out door shots and just casual fun ones too...We ended the day with a wiener roast with family and friends... It was a beautiful day to do this, and we all had a great time... Here are pictures from some of us there...These are just our immediate family, I will share more later of other family and friends... I just need to upload some from my camera too...
I hope you enjoy looking at these as much as we enjoyed having them taken. The kids were all good, no complaining at all, and they even did some candid posing of their own ideas and choice... It was a totally wonderful day and we cannot thank our friend enough for helping is out... She took some simply awesome pictures that day.
