Yesterday was a really good day with the teenager. We were both in good moods, and unbeknownst to her, I decided to spend a whole day without criticizing her, which probably helped us both STAY in good moods.

Anyway, we went to the store to spend some of her birthday gift certificates. [livejournal.com profile] loracs's household had bought her a gift card for Artist and Craftsman in Berkeley, and they were having a sale on stretched canvas, so the kid bought four or five canvasses (canvases?), a charcoal pencil, and a paintbrush. Then we ate Thai food and went home and raided [livejournal.com profile] sogwife's considerable stash of acrylic paints. Here are the results:


Yay! Yay!
Inspired by the "Serene" painting [livejournal.com profile] intenselaura got me when she visited, [livejournal.com profile] wtfpotatoes created one for me in flame and/or chili-pepper motif.

I myself, being not much of a visual artist, stuck with simple shapes that I wouldn't be too disappointed in if they didn't work. I'm happy with them, though the sun didn't turn out the way I'd envisioned it.



Really good day.
