Paint Night: A Gallery of Hawaii

 The other day the rest of the family was sitting and staring at each other (a pastime that I really struggle with...I cannot sit) so I started to do some art with a few of the nieces. Life has been so crazy for us so neither Lady Hiva nor I have done a lot of art, even though we both love it. It was so much fun to just sit and doodle.

That night I had an idea to have a family paint night. We all got together and we painted. The rules were that we had to all incorporate three colors: blue, green and yellow. And the painting had to be something that reminded them of Hawaii. It was so much fun to see everyone paint. From the smallest little people, to the adults. We all came up with some great pieces.

It was a fun night to just sit and talk as we painted.

 While we waited for everyone to eat we drew on the paper we had laid down to cover the table.

 This eye was something that I drew, it started out as a green circle and kept building to become this...haha

 These little kids took it REALLY serious!

Koala Bear was so Proud of her version of the ocean.

 Nancy kept saying, "I can't paint, I can' paint..." then she paints this awesome piece. Yeah, we don't believe you now, Nancy!
