Imagine with me you are in an art studio surrounded by
Maglingers. Imagine with me that 4 or 5 of them have sold their art for actual money. Then imagine being handed a piece of paper and some pastels and being told to start drawing Vincent Van
Gogh's Starry Night. Now you've got the feeling I had last Saturday at the
Maglinger Men annual March birthday party. You can imagine my
surprise and thrill when I look over to see my own little
Maglingerette picking up her own pastel and jumping right in the fun!
Musical families may break out into impromptu singing or song writing, sports fanatic families break out into impromptu football or basketball games, but artistic families break out into impromptu art lessons. Really, here's what happened: Bobbi has recently started giving art lessons for children on Friday nights in her home. She does a great job at everything she does and this is no different. (see the background of our family photo at the top of the blog? It's a mural she painted in her dining room) We asked her to show us her classroom upstairs in her house. One thing led to another and before we knew it there were 15 recreations of Starry Night....okay 14: my sorry try at it could hardly be recognized as the masterpiece.
How cute is this?! Her daughter Maggie dresses up each week as the artist they are studying and gives a little lesson on the artist's life. The best part is it was her own idea.
It's fun being a
Maglinger.

I can totally relate with you here Leigh Ann. I would rather crawl into a hole and hide than paint with a bunch of artists. Way to hang in there and be a trooper!
