Today's painting class was a special one. Mothers and children spent the day creating a tandem acrylic painting of a beautiful butterfly! Because the subject is symmetrical, one person had the left and one had the right. The outcomes are so imaginative and thoughtful, I'm so pleased at all of the smiles today! Happy Mother's Day 🦋
If you'd like to try this at home be sure to grab the checklist: Painting Party at Home. Check out the class schedule for the next painting event and hope to see you soon!

What is nature journaling?We may have a sense of what journaling is—the routine writing of thoughts and feelings for self-reflection or expression—though it can vary person-to-person. Nature journaling is similar, but focused on capturing individual experiences of small moments in nature and incorporating sketching, keepsakes, writing, and so on. We can keep these moments close and use them for creative inspiration later.
What a lovely bunch of blossoms—and on my birthday of all days! A vibrantly painted background of refracted sky and cherry blossom blooms, overlaid with a gray-brown branch covered in white or pink-white cherry blossoms. What an ode to our proximity near Washington, DC just after the cherry blossom season ends. For this painting I introduced a new background painting technique and a new paintbrush (Filbert 8) to easily create the petal shape.
