Monet

My Birthday C Moore age 11

Here are the end result of two wonderful sketches by the children at our birthday, where we explored Monet and the impressionists! The children had a fun filled party, painting and pinata and produced some wonderful paintings! Though the subject was the same, the 13 paintings turned out differently,all with their own personality!


Inspired by Waterlilies T Moore age 13

Life has been busy throwing us her ups and down. This last week we celebrated both the death of a dear friend and young mother who passed away, and the birthday of our lovely daughter - an emotional time. Bittersweet.

and today for the Brave Girls Club

The details of life are awesome, enjoy the ride!
Friends are Awesome!


Have a Happy Sunday and enjoy the moments in your day!

    So sorry to hear your sad news.

    These paintings are great. It's wonderful sharing art with children. I bought my son a book of famous paintings and he is enjoying looking at the different styles. He was certainly amazed by Jackson Pollock!!

    Sorry to hear about your friend, but I love the paintings. My favourite place to hang out is the Impressionist wing at the National Gallery in London, where this painting hangs. I come over with a complete sense of calm, even in the middle of a bustling city of over 8 million people!
