The Wild Horses of Sweetbriar

Monday, December 31st, 2007

is what we are rowing this week.

We will be doing some fun activities this week. (You can get complete lesson plans by using Five In A Row. Of course we will be using our new acrylic paint set to try our hand at painting horses. We may have to cruise through some thrift stores and look for a horse barn and some horses to add to our doll house.

We started with special activities today by playing a go-along card game I purchased to help my daughter learn the various breeds of horses. It sure was fun!

Happy Rowing,
Lynn

More Painting with Acrylics

Monday, December 31st, 2007

I had so much fun painting the first picture last night, I just couldn’t stop. ~:-D My daughter said, keep painting, Mama. So I did. (She thinks I am an artist, which should fully tell you how little real art we’ve studied.)

My second attempt, and then I had to put the paints away. With this painting, I tried to just quickly paint my mood. That was really fun. It’s called Fall Garden. This has intensified my interest in getting my daughter some art lessons. I think she would appreciate it so much as she gets older and wants to fill her time with lovely things. I know I am wishing now that I had had some earlier in life.

So the doll house accessories…

Did we do too much pink? The canisters are bright, I know, but we are talking about dolls. I am not sure what we’ll do with the rose, but it’s pretty anyway. Some little friends of my daughter’s showed her how to easily make a rose from clay.

I like the clock.
