This week we turned our dining room into an art studio. This photo shows Carmen at work.
We put on a DVD of Bob Ross painting "Days Gone By," one of his many paintings. What took him a half an hour took us more than six hours. We would play a few minutes of the program, hit pause and then try to recreate what he had done, using his signature two-inch brush, one-inch brush, fan brush, Script liner brush and palette knife.
Our friend Abi painting. "Let's give this tree a friend. Everyone needs a friend."
Monica mixing paint, getting ready to add some bushes that "live in her world."

ReplyDeleteThese turned out very nice. My dh used to turn on Bob Ross every afternoon when he wanted to take a nap. Bob's gentle voice would send Robert into lala land more quickly than anything. Kind of like Mr. Rogers in slo-mo....
ReplyDeleteThey are all great! So different though, very interesting how you all had your own concepts but the same picture.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
