Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, and Me?

What do Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet and I have in common?
We are all Artists!
I went to a "Painting with a Twist" painting party a few weeks ago with some friends and loved it! We painted "Looking Up".
I fell in love with painting. I ran out to Hobby Lobby and bought painting supplies and an easel!
Here are few of my masterpieces (so far...)

This one is my take on a Claude Monet painting "waterlillies".

I tried a method I learned when I was a kid. The cross is put on with a long piece of yarn!


I googled "how to paint an evergreen tree" and this is the result. It turned into a winter theme. I think I will hang this as a Christmas decoration.



I bought a book of "Venice" paintings and copied one. I have more to go, but I think this one turned out pretty good.



I wanted to redo the orginal "Looking Up" that I did, I thought it was pretty dark and ominous. So, I redid it.



I am painting more tomorrow.
Look out family and friends, you may be getting paintings for your Christmas presents.

  1. Great Job Jodi! I am super impressed; although I really like the first looking up even if it is dark and ominous. It has a great look to it!
