PRIMITIVE PAINTING: Day 4

The sun is shining, but so sad to say goodbye to everyone!

Before brunch, Mindy displayed a way to start with a dark background to create people.

The result adds such a primitive look.  Truly Awesome!

We played for a little while before sharing.

And what great works of art!! Each personal and each unique. Everyone has a story for being there.... a need, a want, and a desire. All different, but all inspiring.  So thankful for this day!

My heart is full.  

(Yet my art still needs some finishing touches)

(Mindy's Donna....so adorable)

The stars were so bright the night before, I had to capture it before the day ended.
All these pieces are a work in progress...so I will post my final book in a future post.

My AH-HA Moment was when

Mindy stated "Making mistakes leads to making discoveries."

This message rang true for everyone in the class the entire week.  We all learned from each other, and we all taught each other something.  A true blessing to be at this workshop and embrace the love, warmth, and spirit of Mindy Lacefield.  She's the Tim Sally of the World, ya know!!

PRIMITIVE PAINTING: Day 3

A gloomy day, but such brightness inside starting Day 3.

Getting right down to business, and learning how to make a human, mostly girls.

However, Mr. Miller's technique for a male figure was super NEATO.

(It's on my to-do list to learn, need some boy art in my life :)

One way I started was to use Mindy's stamp to get an idea of dimensions for smaller figures.

I printed one on a gelli print...and loved it, so kept her simple (and body-less)

I was slack on photo taking for the rest of the morning and even failed to capture the yummy lunch.

But after break, Debbie read us a story about an idea coming to fruition.  

I was reminded of back in the day going to library story time.  Loved It!!

Then the afternoon before dinner was filled with more artwork:

And then the PARTY STARTED!!

(delicious food, great service)

First taste of a Moscow Mule!! Yum!

Salmon, Chicken, & Pork.

Strawberry Shortcake & Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake....what's not to love!!

Thanks for another amazing day Mindy.

You have won my heart over again and again.  You are such a beautiful soul and spirit.

Thanks for sharing your talent and time with us crazy coconut oil loving gals (and guy)!

I'm Serious!
