Art Show

We went to an art show the other night at Brittney's junior high. Her art teacher put on an exhibit for all of the art students to showcase a piece of their work. Brittney's drawing of The Daily Planet was chosen as one of the pieces that went on the invitations. Really cool. She's a great artist, and I love to see her work. She's done a lot of superhero-themed work this year, along with other things that she likes. A few of my current faves:

I lurve this one. She said this is the rough draft, so I'm not sure if the final will be pen & ink or in color or what. Coincidentally, I am supposed to have this same image painted in my classroom, but it has disappeared. Two of my students last year painted it on one of my celing tiles, and they also painted me a castle that is supposed to be really awesome, but they're both missing. Hopefully they can find out what happened to them and I'll get them, but I'm not holding my breath.



These aren't her original ideas... for these sketches they find an image they want to draw and then they copy it freehand.





We had a fun Christmas party at mom's house last night. The kids have so much fun together. It was so funny to talk to Scott and Wendy about all of Eric's naughty adventures because he and Josh are reading from the same play book. I love knowing someone else has had/is having the same experiences.

I've got to check over my lists and see if there's anything else I'm missing on the Christmas shopping. I ordered a $10 item online, paid $5 to ship it, it shipped with FedEx on the 8th and the estimated arrival is the 21st. It's been sitting in Denver for a week. Lame.

We took a drive up to the cabin and around the lake today, and it was rainy. Not much snow. Feels like spring.
