March was a really creative month. It started with my RAW artist showcase (woo hoo!). That show felt great. I felt like a "real artist", showing off my stuff and talking with lots of wonderful people about what I LOVE to do. Pretty sweet.
The creative energy rubbed off the kids too. My friend Jill gave me two new wood blocks to work with. As soon I brought them home, the boys claimed them as there own. Here they are painting their little hearts out.
Hudson created a rainbow. This boy loves rainbows and color!
Ethan created a Super Mario World with lots of details. This boy loves Mario!
I picked up a crazy retro bright yellow couch for $1 at a rummage sale for the boys playroom. They love it. It's cheerful and extra long. It fits all four of us comfortably.
Hudson lost his first tooth! (or teeth, busy day at the dentist with 3 teeth pulled, eek)
After the playroom couch was bought we decided a little art to hang was in order. Here they painted the cardboard backing for a frame I had laying around.They each had there own ideas of what it should be so, instead of arguing I suggested they make an "abstract" painting. They thought that was a great idea and had fun getting their paint on and experimenting by rolling, globing and splattering paint.
See how I have a separate paintbrush for each color? That is the key to kids
keeping the colors true and not making a muddy mix of everything.
Here is the final masterpiece! I think they did a fantastic job!
