You all know I love an art project – so I was so happy when my friend Anne invited me to join her at a painting party in Anchorage. Anne’s two sons would have joined us, but they were visiting their father. So it was just the two of us – along with several other moms and their children.
This was a
guided thing, where the teacher taught us how to paint a Chicken! The teacher
did a great job of making sure the littles were all happy and did not get too
far off track.
It always
amazes me how different the results always are. We all get the same
instructions, and yet we all have our own interpretations of those
instructions. None of us are wrong – we’re all just our own unique individuals.
And that’s okay!
My chicken was pretty basic, with a few mixed colors but not much detail.
Anne’s chicken was a lot more intricate with a lot of mixing and detail.
Anne’s chicken was a lot more intricate - well, you forgot to mention that I enjoyed mixing colors and using my neighbors’ mixed colors to get as much color and paint on that canvas as possible. I had never worked with acrylics before and just enjoyed layering - and it all started with realizing that I will never have my own chickens that are naturally purple, pink and teal …
