Before we begin our day in the art studio, orange juice and a little smiling
helped us get started.

While I looked over some new paints and just played around testing them out...

Leon got busy and produced some pretty fabulous paintings.

I love the characters he found and began to practice while testing some new paints and
using a lot of creativity on these 12 x 12 acrylic copies.

This one reminds him of a walk on the London sidewalks which we have visited many times. The umbrellas pop out and the stroll continues.

This is the one he is working on right now. A month in the art studio and he's painting away. Just getting better and better at it.

I did not realize that there were two wonderful artists in the family. Very nice. Glad you are both up and about, too.

We both wondered what we were going to do together. Sold the sailboat, stopped planning trips with friends, entertaining slowed down - so we picked up painting. Leon in oils. Me in acrylics. Now Leon is using acrylics and I'm into watercolor. TOGETHER is the goal, Barbara!

Glad Leon is painting again. My nephew still has one of Leon's paintings proudly displayed in his home, Keep it up Leon!

Didn't Leon paint such different paintings, always learning something new while doing it. I love it, Tipping.
