Kitchen decorations

I recently put up four old art quilts to decorate my kitchen.

Seventh grade

Sometimes we just paint and have conversations.

just silly

Saturday night potluck

These are quick candid pictures, no posers here! We had potato chowder, arugula salad, homemade Buddha bread, homemade jalapeno cornbread, roasted vegetables, and carrot cake. It was a carbo-licious dinner.

Poor Anna is on the floor stretching her back, but that doesn't stop her enjoying her wine!

It's Joe's Day!

Collage page with patterned papers

This is a quote from Henri Matisse. First I painted the patterns on paper, then cut out the letters and glued them to the page. Joanne (the teacher whose class I'm in) used marker ink for the background, but I'm using what I have: watercolor paint and Inktense pencils.

Working on big decorated letters

So, I've been painting a bit during our 3-day weekend.

More Classwork for Joanne Sharpe

This was about painting marks using a brush and watercolors.

Markers would work, too, of course, but she's encouraging the class to paint.

It's not supposed to 'be' anything except practice making doodles, letters, and shapes with the brush.
