grandparent portrait

These are two of Andy’s grandparents, painted  for my mother-in-law.  Although I never got to meet these two, I thought a lot about Andy’s mom, aunts, and uncles as I saw their resemblance shining through:) Painting this made me really miss my Granny.  I think I’ll have to paint her soon!

Notice anything different about these art lesson pictures?  No?  They normally have borderline-depressing gray cinder block walls in the background. We have a great set-up where we work at the church, but the [...]

April Art Lessons 2012

May 7, 2012

We did lots of bright, spring-y artwork last month. We are all getting sad that we are quickly running out of days before the semester is over!
