Tuesday night my friend Amy invited us over to her house for a little art lesson. She is an amazing artist and an amazing friend, so of course I took the opportunity to learn from her. She was so patient with our millions of questions and made us feel capable of painting like she does. Honestly I was surprised at how well everyone's paintings turned out. I invite you all to check out her blog and see her amazing artwork and ideas. Ok, on to my masterpieces. Here is where it all began...the first layer of both my paintings.
After the third layer and my pencil work. The drawings were Amy's ideas from her sketchbook that she let me use. I think they are adorable.
The final products after painting on the top layer (all the accents and real colors). I was thrilled with how they turned out, and pretty amazed that I did it all by myself. Made me believe a little more in myself. I'm thinking of using them in the new baby's room.
Here are a few snapshots I took between layers while the paint was drying. We had a great time of fellowship. Thanks Amy for opening your home, your supplies, and ideas to us. We had a great time!

Jill those are both so beautiful!
Very cool. We will have to do some art stuff when I come into town. xoxo
WOW! I love the paintings. It looks pretty easy. I'd be willing to try this. Maybe when I come down for a visit again we could do this.
I posted the recipe for pesto on my blog...it's so easy!
I would love to know of some ways you use pesto. I'd love to do more with it than putting it over pasta.
Thanks!
