Creating Art in the burbs

There are 16 people at Hannah's school that have been important to us in some way or another, so of course I need to make them all a little something to show our appreciation. Hannah wants to know if I ever think of giving gifts that aren't art...lol...um...not really : )Two 10X10 and one 12X12 for the three main teachers




All three canvases felt so smooth, so I decided to rough them up a bit
but in the end I painted two of them with black gesso (my new love) and went with what came to me...flowers : ) I liked my first zinnia so much, decided I would do more of those.

I am just about finished with theses 3 and will start on my smaller pieces this weekend.

Mike and I are both from Chicago, we actually grew up as neighbors. Once we knew what Hannah was going to need out of her school experience, we decided Chicago schools were not going to cut it, so we moved out to the burbs. We have been out here 9 years and its been OK, but the special ed program out here has been more then we could have ever expected. Now our baby girl will be going to high school.

Graduation day a week from Monday

How exciting for her.

Have a good weekend

I'll be back with my progress of the next 13 pieces
