Artsy Fartsy

Last night my niece and I decided to skip our tuesday swim and get creative (not that swim time doesn't get creative sometimes...)

We still wanted to get some exercise so we started out with a nice walk. As we walked down the hill, we stopped for a moment, widen our eyelids and took in the beauty of the mountain and ocean views (inspiration)... "oh aunty it's so pretty"... something about a 7 year old noticing this makes it the more special.

It was a little chilly by the time we were done our walk so we were ready for a warm cup of tea when we got home. Kaliya thought it would be fun to pretend we were students in Art School, or she was the teacher (always) and I was the student. So we took our seats and layed out our painting supplies. As we sipped pomegranate tea in fine china (with jazz music qued up in the background, that she soon wanted to switch to Miley Cyrus), we were ready to dip our brushes and start painting our blank canvases!


We created colors like you've never seen before! Kaliya discovered how fun it is to mix all the colors together and couldn't stop. Our canvases (and Kaliya) were covered in the most brilliant shades of purple, pink and turqouise. You'll have to wait and see our masterpieces when they're ready!
