My Second Painting - a Snowman

Tonight, my friend Jess and I went to the painting class at My Spirited Art.  The picture of the night was a snowman.

I had an absolute blast, both painting and spending time with Jess.

Here is my finished product:

Painting Class

Sheena and I decided to go to a painting class tonight.  Neither of us are very artsy, but we thought doing something new would be fun.  We went to a little place here in town, My Spirited Art.

The class was pretty basic.  The teacher went through the steps with us and showed us how to paint the picture we signed up for.  I do have to say, even though she explained it to us, having it go from my brain to the paint brush didn't quite go as planned!

Our painting didn't quite turn out like the one we signed up for, but we had a great time though and it was so nice to get out of the house for a few hours!

Here is my finished product:

I forgot my camera, so I will have to get the rest of the pictures from Sheena!

Painting Fun

I let Alex color with paint markers today while I was making dinner! It was fun and messy! I loved seeing his little mind get creative and watching how it translated to paper! Luckily, the paints are washable because he had paint all over his hands, on his belly and on his face - it was definitely a bath night!

He had a great time and colored Daddy a beautiful picture! When Larry got home from work, I told Alex to go get his picture to give to Daddy. He did and he was so proud of himself!

Maybe our little man will get the drawing gene that I am so desperately lacking!

Oh, you might notice that he is still using both hands to color with! He is displaying signs of being both a lefty and a righty. I'm anxious to see what hand he actually ends up using! We have a few people in my family that use their left hands and of course Larry is a lefty, so it is a very good possibility that he may wind up being left-handed!

Here are a few pictures:
