Painting the Northern Lights

During the Summer when Sandi is out visiting we try to paint a few paintings, my granddaughter, ( Sandi's niece ) Katrina, just turned 11 and she wanted to be able to paint the Northern Lights again so that is what we did here are our paintings. By the way Katrina sold this painting for $50.00 not bad eh >>>>

isn't it something we were all painting together and the same painting and yet our paintings are all different.

Katrina's Northern Lights

Katrina, my 10 year old granddaughter, came to one of my painting classes and she really enjoyed the idea that she was able to come and paint in a real class setting along with other painters. She was so excited about how her painting turned out, orginally she wanted to paint a painting for her uncle but after she completed it she doesn't know if she really wants to give this one away, she put red, green, blue, and silver sparkles in it and it really looks neat. I never can get the pictures to really look as great as the painting really is.

Here is her painting..........

Katrina's Just for Fun painting

Katrina my 9 year old granddaughter was over on Monday May 12 and painted this by herself. I thought she did a terrific job. She mentioned that she just loves painting but what she loves the most is after she is finished and she gets to scoop up all the paint and make a new pile of color with the left over paint, although she doesn't like cleaning the brushes she will do it b/c Grandma said if you want to paint you have to keep the brushes clean and in good shape......

Notice the birds in the sky

here's her painting.

Katrina's secret place

My granddaughter, Katrina, whom is only 9 years old was over visiting me and her grandfather. She wanted to paint a picture today, April 3rd, 2008. So I set up the paints and the canvas and gave her little instructions on the how to's . She did 98% of it herself with a little help from grandma. We started with a black canvas and she wanted to just paint a picture without having to follow a video. I think the paiting turned out great.
