A NEW KIND OF ARTIST

THE WEEKEND ARTIST.
The BYOB art class that includes a bit of paint, a couple of brushes, and a blank canvas.

{plus... ice buckets, bottle openers, and glasses that clink are provided for your painting pleasure!!}

Recently, my darling husband and I celebrated an anniversary.  It wasn't the silver nor was it the golden, according to tradition, but I consider all of our anniversaries "golden" because it is such a delight to reflect upon and remember our special day.   I loved my wedding day. 

For a celebration in honor of our day, we decided to PAINT.  We were each given a blank canvas.  And one person painted the night scene while the other person painted the day scene. 

We had such a blast.  We painted, and painted, and painted.
And then we created, and created, and created.

We decided to create our paintings with personal touches...
We hid little symbols within our art...
Symbols that represented our other half...
That only "we" would know about...
Like a little secret...
With a smiling heart!

this is the perfect memory for an anniversary!

36 hours of labour...

to produce my first mural baby! We decided to make the "TREADMILL" time more fun... because there is not much to see while being stationary. How fun it would be to walk in our own town! My daughters contributed to the personalized mural, drawing cats, airplanes and hidden images (a cardinal in the tree, ants in the grass, ladybugs, coded addresses, a finish line, a pilot and a shadow of a cat sitting in the window)! We had a lot of fun. But by the end, we were exhausted. There is so much we can still add, but we'll save that for a later date.
