Painting & Church visit

Well, today wraps up our painting adventure (for now).  We missed the 3rd class due to an ear infection, poor baby.  And, I'm still so proud of this little munchkin.  She didn't touch the paint at all today, but she did play with the other little girl and giggled and laughed.  She's come a long way.  Also, at home, she now really enjoys to draw with a pen and paper, so perhaps she's been inspired.  Who knows, but I'm thankful for our time together, whatever we're doing!

Observing mama's work.

Today's challenge was to close our eyes and just make marks with the paintbrush, open our eyes, see what our imagination creates and embellish it... so I made a bike, a girl running, a sailboat and a vase of flowers (obviously not planned, but quite fun surprises).  A fun exercise!

This was just fun with color mixing!

And since the princess was taking her morning nap after the class, I thought I'd stop for a visit at the Russian Orthodox church that is just down the street from us.

Thankfully, she woke up, so she got to see the ornate decorations.

Can't take too many selfies with this little one.

And this was her favorite part... she kept looking up!  I don't blame her.  It's quite captivating with the lights and windows.

Again, I thank the Lord Jesus for this gift called Daphné.  She is our joy.  We (me and Tonio) are in complete awe of the treasure we have been given.
