As part of our study of the American artist Georgia O'Keeffe, we decided to paint our own watercolor masterpieces of flowers. We grabbed some empty toilet paper rolls (an essential in the craft bin!) and went outside to choose our subjects.
I took pictures of flowers and the kids each brought in a flower. They gazed at it through the tube to help them shut out distractions and see the intricate parts of the flower as Georgia might have seen them.
Then the painting began! The kids were very diligent and detailed with their paintings, must get the artistic genes from their dad.

WOW!!! I am not surprised, but am amazed at the artistic flare of each artist in the Choate household. Thank you for sharing. These seem like subjects for framing...wish I was there to do just that.
I love each of you and am so proud of your accomplishments.

I was at the Boston Museum of Fine Art today...I looked for the O'Keefe's but they weren't out. I did think of you guys when I saw their 3 van Gogh's though!
