It's a grey and rainy day here in Chicago, but we didn't let that put a damper on our spirits. Not at all! We painted our own sunshine—sunny Portuguese islands and Rothko-esque fields of color, warm and sunny memories of people, times (and lunches) gone by. Even our beginners got into the act with bright happy plaids and color wheels.
One thing to note as you scroll through our paintings (except for David, who forgot to stop for a photograph)—all the colors in the beginners' color wheels are made by combining just three colors. Impressive, isn't it? It's not like they just squeezed those colors out of tubes ready-made. This takes skill and it's much more difficult than it looks!
Last week, we promised you an update on John's colored pencil works. We won't disappoint. You'll see part of a series of drawings below illustrating part of a story. There will be about 50 when he's finished, but these will take you into a wonderful world of folk tales, elves, and swirling clouds. Don't you wish this was a flip book?
See you next week!
