Turkey Time!! Art class today we were Painting Turkeys.

Today was our first class.  We painted Turkeys!!  It was fun!

I began the class teaching about Shades & Tints.  At the end of class I reviewed what we learned.  We also talked about Primary & Secondary colors.  I asked the youngest child if he remembered how we would make pink.  He said, "I don't know, you taught us that over 2 hours ago!"

It was so cute & hilarious!!

Klimt's "The Kiss"

My best friend & I went to our first Art Uncorked class to do Klimt's "The Kiss".
This is one of my favorite paintings.  I have had a coffee mug with this painting on it forever.

We met at the bar/painting location and had a yummy flatbread pizza and I had a glass of lovely champagne. My BFF had white wine sangria, which she loved.

We started painting after eating & drinking.....which relaxed us and everyone was in a fun mood!

The beginnings.... working on the background.

BFF hard at work on the background.

Adding heads.

This is my finished painting that I brought home.  However, everytime I looked at it I did not like how they look like they are on the edge of a cliff and the proportions of him standing and her on her knees bothered me.  Even though I liked her dress and feet I decided to make changes.

It was easy enough to hold the bottom corner under the sink and scrub off the paint.  

Then I went back in and made the changes.

SO here is the finished work.  They are BOTH Standing on a grassy, flower field.

Now I only wish I had not started their head so close to the top of the canvas.  

Next time I'll think more about the layout and proportions before starting.

Giraffe in Oil Pastel

A cute Giraffe colored with oil pastels.
I haven't decided on the background.

I think it would be a fun project to add an iPod and ear buds to him or add a pretty scarf for the winter.

Trees & Puppies with the girls

The 2 big girls wanted to do their own versions of Klimt's "Tree of Life".

My little friend & I did the "Blue Puppy"
