Photo of the Day - Day 13

Another late night at the office...so didn't get much time to get out and about to take some photos.  Instead tonight's photo of the day are photos of paintings that I created myself.  They are on the wall of my living room and I thought I would share them with you so I took photos of them both tonight.

I took two really fun painting classes last year and in a couple of hours you end the class with a "masterpiece" instead of "paint by numbers" style paintings.  The class is very social and we shared lots of laughs. So much fun, a Artist comes twice a year to Souris PEI and teaches the course to whoever is interested in learning to paint.


This is the first one I did, the waves are a bit "wild" but I like the way the little sail boats and seagulls turned out :)



This is the second one I painted, the trees are my favourite part...the frame cut off my "L" in my initials in the lower corner but it still has the "J" :)


I find painting to be so relaxing where the world freeze-frames and you don't have to think about a think except the brush and the canvas...just like kids feel with crayons and a colouring book I suppose. Very relaxing.

So for $65 you get the canvas, frame and the use of an easel, paint and brushes plus a night of fun and a finished product you can display on your walls.  Can't wait until the next time the Artist is in town...definitely going back!

Enjoy the rest of your night!
