Day 27: Painting Party!

I had visitors today. Lynn brought over Lindy and Grant. Lindy is in kindergarten and Grant is in fourth grade. We all painted feathers, framed our favorites, and then played freeze tag and red-light-green-light in the yard. It was a great afternoon! I had so much fun! Woot!

All four of us shared the palette. The coordinated weave of arms when we were all reaching for our prospective colors was a hoot. Great cooperation and focus. We painted for well over an hour. 

Photographing before framing.

Work well-done by everyone.

Lindy chose to have all three of her feathers framed together, so here they are matted and ready to go. She showed off her cursive writing with her signature. The feather on the left is her interpretation of my Day 13 feather, which was her favorite. I like her version too!  

Grant's parrot on a parrot feather. This is the one he chose to frame, which he mounted on black.

After painting things on feathers, Grant painted a picture OF a feather with an owl on it
(which I said looked like an ewok)

Grant painted a parrot on a parrot feather, a peacock on a peacock feather, this blue heron, and this awesome fire-breathing blue-tailed skink, which I am very happy I get to keep as a thank you present. It rocks!

Lynn started painting a circular chakra design, but we decided that the addition of a head, tail and feet would make it into an excellent turtle. An excellent turtle it is.
