Before my dear friend Jen moved to Utah she asked me to paint her a picture with mountains and fireflies, her two favorite things. I had never painted a firefly picture before so I was excited about the challenge and wanted the picture to be extra special for her.
Jen is so vibrant and fun that I decided to make the painting bright and colorful like her. I normally age my paintings but this time I went for all the joy and wonder I could create. Gosh, I'll miss this girl.
July is more than half way through and I still have some late June-early July posts yet to write. I started this post before we moved in early July and have since lost the draft. No surprise there. I've lost multiple things in the past few weeks during our move.
Some wonderful ladies came over for a mixed media painting class. Their paintings turned out beautifully and we had such a great time laughing.
I am a messy free spirited painter and reminded them several times to PUT DOWN YOUR PAINTBRUSH (Gina). I wanted them to feel their art... literally. Paint washes off eventually.
Beautiful paintings ladies.
