Last night, I had planned with the Crazy Ladies to have them come and work with the kids of the church. Sharen had the wonderful idea that they should make water color sunsets. This was the sunset we were privileged to see and paint. The children showed up slowly. First, my girls. They were so excited and they couldn't wait to work with Sharen. They kept picking up the paints and looking at them. Sharen is a very talented artist from our church and area and she teaches many how to paint. So this was an opportunity for the children to really learn something special. As she prepared the paper (attaching it to pieces of cardboard for painting) and explained that there are many types of painting (wet on wet and dry on dry and wet on dry) and that they get many different looks. How to make clouds in your painting, more children arrived!!! We had 13 children show up for her work. She was in heaven. She said she tried to do this and no one ever showed up. I told her that maybe we just need to have it on Friday nights in the future. She agreed.
She was so excited she chose one painting from each "child" (we chose one of hers and one of some of the other adults) and we will have an art show on Rally Day (the day Light School starts). What a great evening for all. I just wish more had shown up, but at the same time having as many as we did was great.
Today, the beach!!!
