Paint & Play
So yesterday evening Lisa and I (and, independently, YaYa and her BF) went to see Smiley's art show at his school.
Now I thought it was to be an exhibition of visual art work - you know, painting on a wall, sculptures on a pedestal. Nope. It was something far better, a combination of art, music, and game.
A music major would perform a solo piece of classical music, while a single art major would stand in the front of the room, canvas to the crowd, and paint a piece in only the time provided by the music. When it was done, so was the painting. When it wasn't their turn to paint, each art student would complete the same task at their seat, but with dry media.
Smiley painted to "Watashi No Uno" accompanied by a great pianist who was at our house for Halloween, as she's a friend of Dem's.
After the intermission the six art students rotated out, and he jointed us to watch the rest of the show.
After the show each drawing was up for sale for a $5 donation to the school, and we took home 5 - two of Smiley's (the dual faces and the flowers), a sarcastic Shrek work that he thought was hilarious, a drawing by his ex CeeCee (which we gifted to her) and a drawing of a woman in the woods the we all admired.
Good job man! We're proud of you!!

My Latest Painting
It's not up to my wife's level, but it a'right. I'm not sure what's up with my left arm in the picture, unless I was trying to honor Bob Dole.

Some Artwork by YaYa
A drawing and a separate self-portrait by GC. The self-portrait really does capture her look. I'm impressed.

A Visit to Louise
Went to visit Lisa's stepmom at the nursing home. Here's a drawing Junie made for her. Kudos to YaYa for stepping up: she not only picked out a Valentines card for Louise, she got nail supplies and offered to do her nails, (Louise said no, preferring to get acrylics), and pushed her wheelchair.
