For all you birdies out there, our "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" workshop had quite the following this year. All paintings were not only instructional, but they turned out so wonderful! Love that we were all looking through a bird guide, and painting the ones we wanted in our trees. All the birds chosen were pretty much local to our own backyards, (note: I threw a magpie into my tree since my husband is from Carolina, and I want our son to start recognizing birds back there) so I imagine it will be great fun for the kids to study their paintings after they bring them home. I was surprised to see how much the kids knew about birds in this area.This workshop actually refueled my desire to go out bird watching again! It was so fun.
And "JOIN THE CIRCUS" turned out beautiful! As you can see here, Andre loves the color blue... And why not a blue lion? (It is a circus after all).
Love Noah's attention to detail. His tent turned out awesome. It seems we have a teal horse and a pink lion at this circus...
And this one my son did. Yay! I finally get one that I get to keep. All these years of watching the most beautiful work be made here and then taken away into homes in which I will never see again...but not this one! He can't take all the credit here though. Many, many thanks to Sophie, his little art buddy who helped him keep focus while he was in his very first workshop with me. (I tihnk he was more the designer than anything else). At any rate, I can't wait to hang it up. Love the planet he added in there at the last minute. I think it might be Saturn? So funny.
