The kids painted a Halloween painting yesterday at class. Great work!
And we got an unexpected surprise when these kids and a pup rolled by The Studio yesterday afternoon. It made me smile.

While we were painting the Barn with Flag a few months ago at Paint Parties (see those here and here) I started working on this one as well. I finally had some time at Open Studio yesterday to wrap it up.
I like the image of old barns with our flag hanging proudly.
All-American Barn, acrylic, 9″x12″, available for sale.

Sophia asked to paint a snake at her lesson this week. We did! But I told her it is the first and LAST time for snakes at The Studio. ICK!
But she did a great job!

On my final day of vacation we went to the Natural History Museum. I was pleasantly surprised by all the art that I saw there. Of course, there was loads of interesting animals and artifacts but the backdrops of many of the displays included wonderful art. Here are just a small sampling of the fabulous things that we saw on Monday.
