So many artists in my family

If you remember the post about my mom's birthday party, you remember that we went to Polka dot pottery to paint the afternoon away. A tradition is forming for her birthday, but this year we decided to have a plan on what to paint. Last year I painted stripes....yes stripes. Pretty colors I might add, but stripes. Drawing is not my forte. I am much better at blobs, swirls and the aforementioned stripes. The painting/drawing talent was left out of my gene pool. I did get the appreciation of color gene, I love color. I love bold color, hence the tiger orange wall right next to the green-blue wall in my house. I love colors that you just might say, "I am not sure they quite go together," but when they are in the right environment make you say "wow!" I surely digress, back to the pottery. This year we found a Pottery Barn catalog to help the creative juices flow. I think they both turned out pretty great. The one created by the artist surely stands alone!
