Plein-air Painting saturday!

Yesterday, we went up the Nebo scenic loop above Payson for a drive. Dad wanted to do some landscape painting as did mom so we planned on having the girls watch a movie in the van whilst we painted. But they wanted in on the painting action too, so it was a family painting day, with the exception of Amy hanging out in the van for about an hour or so. It was a beautiful day and the trees were lovely. It was nice to do something together after a couple of weeks of hard work and tough schedules. It was such a thrill to see the girls with their little easels and paints working hard the whole time.

The results! Clockwise from the top left: Mom's trees, (painted rocks by Natalie and Emily), two paintings by Emily, two paintings by Natalie, and dad's aspen grove.
