Marcella drew this beautiful dog on her own!  We framed it for her room.

Vines & Leaves

Cameron paints something for her room. 

Basketry

The girls have been very busy this summer!  With swimming at the pool, visiting relatives, taking beach trips, and playing with friends ... well, they've still managed to do a ton of art.  Their jewelry work is going well, and they've sold product at their "shop" at the end of the driveway to relatives and neighbors. 

Here are the results of a basketry class that they took at Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art. 

In a small class at GHIA

Each girl made a hip basket and a key basket.

New technique

The three of us painted an acrylic using this technique.  We drew our subject, painted it with patterns and texture, then taped it with artist's tape.  Here, Marcella taped up her two birds. 

 Next, she painted the background with drippy wet acrylics.



Here she is removing the tape after the background has dried. 

Voila'!  Beautiful! 

Summer Fairy

Cameron painted this fairy with dandelion all on her own! 

Giraffe for Cameron

All three of us worked on this giraffe for Cameron's room.  What fun!
