An Afternoon Affair with Art

I was asked to take part in painting a picture of a horse at my art class at Northwest Art Center, an art studio in Duvall, for an silent auction to raise money for the art center. I painted a close -up of a green/blue horse's face with an orange/red backround. At the auction I watched as Mom was outbid by two ladies battling for my horse. One of them finally won by just paying the guaranteed buying price of $150.00.

Caleb (11) is one of our budding artists and here is his first stab at electronic art (using Windows Paint no less!). He thought the zoom tool was really helpful. So...when do we start him on real drawing programs like Illustrator or Freehand?

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving 2006 found the Brenchley's hosting friends and family; including Grandma Bev, Grandma Dot, Uncle Jack & Aunt Shirl, and our friends the Lobbs - Franklin, Joy, and Gabriella. This wasn't the 30+ number we have hosted in the past but a good time was had by all. Here is some art that Colin drew (recognize the infamous hand tracing?):
