Arts Festival

Shaelyn's first oil on canvas masterpiece. She named her piece "Lilly Acres".

Shaelyn showing off her masterpiece. Although she was a
little annoyed that mommy was taking so many pictures
when it was 100 degrees outside :) lol

Some of the incredible art work made from fruits and vegetables!

mushrooms and raisins.

like a rose. Notice the awesome carvings in the background,
both made from watermelons.

Today we took Aiden and Shaelyn to the Arts Festival at Waterworks Art Center. They got to make toothbrush critters, paper bag hats, and watch a fruit carver make beautiful creations from fruits and vegetables. After hearing a story about a very talented historical artist, Shaelyn got to make her first oil on canvas painting. She was thrilled when she discovered the lady that was helping her paint was going to be her instructor for the art lessons she will be taking in a couple of weeks! She is really excited about taking lessons. The lessons will be on how to draw people's faces. Here are some pictures from our outing today.
