Teaching Zentangle

This is really exciting for me. I spent an hour teaching Matthew how to do Zentangle. I spent an hour drawing with my son! How cool is that? I think he did a great job! Considering his creative outlet is and has always been music, this was a giant first step. The photo shows my demo, and Matthew's on the right.

Matthew and Odin - Playtime

I love this photo of my two boys... They love to play together. It's funny to see Odin with his ears up.... My two cuties.

Me at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Forgot to post this photo. :)

Stay-cation from work.

I did finish the painting, and a few others last week. I took a weeks stay-cation from work. I did get-away for a day trip to Chicago with Jeff and Matthew. We spent the entire day at the Art Institute of Chicago. It was a wonderful day. We took tons of photos. I hope you enjoy them... 

and here is a painting I did the day after we came home...

I also took some photos of flowers and plants for reference. Here are a few of my favorites...

Then it was back to work today... I'm beat... time for bed.
