Family Art Project

While Nana, Poppi, Jon, Mo and Elsa were in town, we requested the skills of my brother to design a canvas for our living room wall. It ended up being a great project that everyone could help with... check it out!

The project began with each granddaughter painting a corner... Elsa wasn't such a fan of the mess.



Elizabeth, on the other hand, jumped right in... literally.


Elizabeth loved painting... anything she could get her hands on.

She quickly picked up the concept of painting leaves.

Elsa chose to supervise.

Jon perfected the technique by the last corner.

About this time, thunder started rumbling. Thanks to Becky and Andrew, our downstairs friends and neighbors, all our efforts were NOT washed away.

Hannah was in her element.

The finished product hanging on our living room wall... we are very pleased with the result!
Jon, thanks for your leadership and vision!
