Painting With Friends, and an Encore

This Saturday, I got together with my Girls for lunch and painting! We had a wonderful time, great conversation, and super lots of fun exploring our creative side!
A pic of everyone's painting together, except 1 because she left before I took it!Lauren's beautiful painting.
Elizabeth's painting, a gift for a friend's new baby.
Trina's beautiful flowers.
(A) Sandi's sweet pink flowers.
Doella's sophisticated abstract.My flowers, a sort-of replica of our wedding centerpieces.

Because I had such fun painting with the girls, I decided to do some more painting today. I thought the Gerber daisies came out the best on my first painting, so I stuck with those on the two paintings I did today.
This was my first painting. I did it as a sort-of counter balance to my first one. Using my wedding colors, and a band of blue to represent the ocean, I did it as an opposite with the orange background with green daisies.My third painting was another attempt at some more daisies, but was done with some inspiration for a friend. Not sure if it will be given away or night, but was inspired by a friend just the same. =)

I think I got all the painting out of my system for now. First of all, I'm out of canvasses, and second I'm out of white paint-- a crucial element. But who knows. Though I'll never get close to the same world as my most talented painting friend Elizabeth, maybe I'll take painting back up as a weekend hobby. =)
