Heath, Charlotte, Ryan, LaDonna and Jennifer were all painting from the same reference photo of lovebirds sitting on a branch. They sure know how to make a painting their own! Heath, LaDonna and Jennifer have never painted before. I hope they're hooked. What a great afternoon.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8406753288498092682-6397721236345348263?l=conniemichaelart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Connie Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04599750206783961172noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406753288498092682.post-91729745715077231182011-07-24T20:00:00.002-05:002011-07-24T20:12:35.492-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A30RgCsQ9Pg/Tiy_-dmM5mI/AAAAAAAAF-k/SZMhgapkksU/s1600/IMG_7654.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A30RgCsQ9Pg/Tiy_-dmM5mI/AAAAAAAAF-k/SZMhgapkksU/s320/IMG_7654.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Laurie and I painted together yesterday and it was TERRIFIC! As a court reporter she doesn't get to think outside the box when she works ... but when she gets hold of a paintbrush ... watch out! Is this a WOW painting, or what? Spectacular first painting, Laurie. I'm looking forward to what we'll do next!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8406753288498092682-9172974571507723118?l=conniemichaelart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Connie Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04599750206783961172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406753288498092682.post-57827595136283640772011-07-16T17:33:00.001-05:002011-07-16T21:01:38.060-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oLK6MnBqjTU/TiIMNwp4gEI/AAAAAAAAF9o/j1O2RZoH3yQ/s1600/IMG_7638.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oLK6MnBqjTU/TiIMNwp4gEI/AAAAAAAAF9o/j1O2RZoH3yQ/s320/IMG_7638.JPG" /></a></div><br />This is Charlotte and Ryan. Charlotte is a Court Appointed Special Advocate (for abused and neglected children), and Ryan is a college student. Until last night, they didn't consider themselves artists. Now that we've seen what they can do, we know better! I can't wait to see what they do next.<br /><br />While painting is not new to me, teaching is, so our evening together was an exciting challenge for each of us. Charlotte called it fun and relaxing. Ryan said it was fun and that he learned a lot. My description would be JOYFUL. No ... COMPLETELY joyful! We laughed and created.... then laughed some more, putting whatever we wanted on our canvas, in whatever colors made us happy. What could be better than that? <br /><br />Thanks, Charlotte and Ryan, for coming out to play with me. Let's do it again soon!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8406753288498092682-5782759513628364077?l=conniemichaelart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Connie Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04599750206783961172noreply@blogger.com0
