artists in residence-self portrait


Emily had a great idea for my Christmas Present. She got a small canvas for each of us and assembled paints and brushes.
We then sat down with a few mirrors and painted self portraits! None of us have any real painting experience, but I think we did a pretty good job. It was a lot of fun, way more than any of us expected when we first sat down to paint!
We were all pretty happy when Delaney was able to identify everyone in the paintings!

Delaney also painted her self portrait and had a great time doing it!
It occured to her no one had painted Satch, so we recycled an old canvas and she did an outstanding job. Apparently she thinks he is all legs!
We look forward to the other little ones being able to paint their first self-protraits in the coming year!
