One of my 101 in 1001 goals was to acquire an original piece of artwork. I recently acquired two, but I didn't purchase them. I made one, and Dad made the other!
I am NOT an artist. I've never been able to draw or even doodle. My doodles are all things like squares, and triangles, and if I'm feeling really crazy, hearts. But this was so so easy. A local artist hosts a class where all you do is show up, and she provides the canvas, paint, brushes, everything. She takes you through, step by step. There were 40 people in the class and Dad (brave boy) was the only male.
It's surprising how remarkably different everyone's turned out.
So here are ours. Mine's first and then Dad's. Please excuse the camera angle on Dad's:

A local pottery store here does the same thing and is doing that painting in July. We did Blue Dog in June. I loved that my art came close to looking like the originals with the help of stencils. I'm jealous, I wanted to do your painting but the date is a little too close to Casey's due date. My blue dog in on my blog site if you would like to make fun of it.:)
nice work...is that a black hole in Dad's??
Love you much!!!
Ooh...looks like Sips and Strokes in B'ham. I've wanted to go for a long time but can't convince my engineer to accompany me. :)
Those are really neat!!! And happy birthday to little MP. :)
