Picture of a good frickin' painting

I bought Kara a few watercolor lessons for her birthday a couple years back, and here's the first painting she busted out:



The FIRST frickin' one. But she doesn't paint anymore. To me, that seems as much of a shame as if Lance Armstrong quit biking to take watercolor lessons, and discovered that he had a natural talent at painting, but then quit taking the lessons because it's just a bunch of old ladies in there. I guess it wouldn't be as sad if Kara won the Tour de France just once, but I'm not holding my breath anymore.

  1. The only thing better than that beautiful painting is the fact that Kara has her number one supporter at her side, consistently singing her praises. :-)

    Yeah, she has a knack, and should definitely keep with it. It's lovely.

  4. Y'all are so helpful -- Kara's going to her watercolor lesson next week. Nothing like a little passive-aggressive harassment on a spouse's blog to get the ball rolling (or the brush moving).

  6. Honestly, I love Kara's paintings...

    If you think this one was good and it was her first, you should see some of the paintings that followed.

    She definitely has a knack for it - a true talent. Who'd of thought she's good with computers and painting?! :o)

  7. Its beautiful...she should keep going. Oh and she could give you lots of blog entries about the old ladies who paint around her. Make sure she takes her spy camera next week!! lol

  8. Haha -- thanks for the advice. Glad y'all liked her painting. I think it's fair to say that Kara's artistic abilities are exceeded only by her exceptionally acute taste in men.

  9. Stunning. But what's that I see in the water? If I tilt my head a bit to the left, it looks like, maybe a face-- but of what? An alien? No, NO! It can't be! He's dead I tell you, Elvis is DEAD!

  15. Excellent work. The combination of purple and yellow is perfect. Watercolor is not easy. Hope she keeps it up and you keep posting it.
