HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! TO ALL YOU AMAZING MOMS!
....just so ya know..... you don't have to be a MOM... if you've ever nurtured, cared for, inspired, guided someone... you qualify!
Hope you have a great day!
So... Teri was here.. and already gone.. : (
The time went so fast!
She came in around 1:30 p.m. on Friday. We went shopping for tabletop Easels, at Pat Catans.
Then to lunch at Applebee's. yum!
She gave me a bunch of art supplies, including a set of Oil paints, brushes, Canvases , easel and a wonderful book called "The Painter's Bible... OMG.. I was so touched and overwelmed by her thoughtfulness and generosity!
To all you artists, you know how getting new art supplies can make your heart all a flutter!
We got started, and although I've painted with Oils before, I realized I really didn't know anything about technicals.
Teri was so helpful, giving me tips and tricks.
I admit to being distracted..... We were having Thunderstorms rolling through, and yes.... I was running from windows... watching The Weather Channel...and watching radar.... all while trying to paint! .. Sorry Larry!
.... (my little nickname for Teri lol)
Saturday, she kept me focused by making me turn the TV off... We listened to "Il Divo," & a really awesome Classical Music on her IPod..... wow... it was really enjoyable.. and I didn't realize just how distracting a TV can be.
I really was in the "groove!"....... No, we didn't paint masterpieces, but it was just awesome hanging out with someone who loves art as much as I do, and learning new techniques. Painting again, something I had gotten away from, was just so fun!
We took a break from painting, to eat and watch a movie.
Teri went to bed early and of course, I stayed up till 2:30 a.m.... trying to touch up my now over worked cloud painting.
Teri left about 10 this morning, and I miss her already!
I worked on my cloud painting a little bit, but realized, I just need to start over.
I'm looking forward to more painting as it has now become my new (again) favorite thing to do.
So.. that's all for now.
Going to enjoy the rest of my Sunday.
Jamie has to work today, so we will have our own Mother's day in a couple weeks, when we can all get together!

MaryEllen, I always love hearing about your weekends with Terri. It looks like you guys had fun. We have been having storm after storm blow through our area. Sure playing games with our computer. It's hard to get connected to the internet sometimes and sure makes posting hard. I love it when you paint. I'd love to see more of your paintings! Have a great week! Twyla
