Day 158

Emily - Taco night! mmm tacos :) It sort of goes with my moms prompt today, colour of yummy :)












Jeanine - "Yummy"

Oh the things I will do for my art - ha!  The class prompt was "colour me yummy" - so Em and I just had to trudge off to DQ after school so I could get a shot of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard - but I like this one of her enjoying her yummy Brownie Batter Blizzard better - try saying that 3 times fast!  ha!

Day 157

Emily - Due to my moms random burst of wanting to be an artist, there are now art supplies covering our dining room table. Fortunately for me, it means I get to be creative :)

Jeanine - "Rockin it in the Country"

Saw this mailbox along a country road on my way home from Guelph this morning and just had to turn around, go back and take a few shots!  Too bad my class prompt was "white on white"!

Day 156

Emily - Hello summer, hello swimming! This friend of mine is quite an athletic person and can do many spectacular things. Such as cartwheel into the pool.
















Jeanine - "My Little Angel"

So - this is my first art project ever.  I am inspired by my daughter who loves art.  Turns out I like it too.  Who knew?  This is a collage...I think.  Not sure the difference between that and mixed media yet.  I'm taking a collage class online this month so hope to figure all that out.  I just posted this in the gallery for the class so it will be interesting to see what kind of response I get...some of the participants do this kind of thing all the time.  So nervous!  I also prepared some small canvases (sp?) to paint ...but not sure what to paint...may stick with collage or mixed media for awhile.  I'm taking a watercolour course the first week of July at the Southampton Art School.  Will see where this all goes.  Having fun!

Day 155

                                                                                          Jeanine - "Jelly Beans"

Book club leftovers...one of my favourite candies.  For a change of pace our book club read a teen lit book called Divergent.  It was great.  Our next selection is The Elegance of the Hedgehog.









Emily - Still going with this weeks prompt. I love it quite a bit. I love the water droplets on the flower :) Thank you hose.

Day 154

Emily - We have theses pretty flower boxes in our back yard that we put many different types of flowers into. By the end of the summer they are huge. I think it kind of looks like a jungle of flowers.
















Jeanine - "Changing Colour"

This was taken for my class prompt today.  We were asked to look at the beauty of a flower as it changes into it's final bloom.  This is a shot of a lupine in my backyard.  Need to get weeding this weekend.

Day 153

Emily - For my food and nutrition class we went on a tour of five farms today. On one of the farms there were little bunnies. We all got to hold this little guy who was only born a few days ago. His eyes were still not open.














Jeanine - "Number Eight"

It's that time of year again...soccer time.  Em's wearing her favourite number.

Day 152

Emily - While we were watching a movie in french class my friend comes over to me and shows me this sketch she was doing of me. She did this sketch from a small photo on her ipod and it took her thirty minutes. I have a very talented friend :)














Jeanine - "Nature's Bliss - Green"

I started another online photography class today called Picture Colour. For the next 30 days we will be studying the use of colour in photography.  This shot - of the birdhouse in the backyard - is my attempt to capture and contrast the colour green.
