Painting, painting, painting...

This is a painting I did for mom  for Mother's Day.  I took the colors from her bedroom and bathroom to make her a nice piece of art for her room. 





On the subject of painting, we went to the Painted Clay Studio to paint pottery for Maggie's birthday.  It was so much fun and a great way to just hang out.  You pick a piece of pottery from a variety of choices and paint it any way you like.  I chose a dog treat jar, Maggie chose a turtle, Joanna chose a dragon, Mika chose small triangles to make necklaces out of, and mom's is a secret until Christmas.  


The colors will look different after it has been fired in the kiln, so you choose paint from pieces that have already been fired.  The pieces are numbered and then you go grab the bottles of paint that correspond.  
 
Freddy the dragon and Franklin the turtle.


A treat jar for Angel and Jules




I'm sure we will go back, especially after mom found out you can bring your own wine!
