Well, yesterday was my first experience of painting in the rain. It wasn't that bad as I had remembered my umbrella and the hosts provided a tent for the kids to queue up in so we didn't get too wet! It also cleared up to show a little bit of sunshine half way though which was very welcome. The party was in the garden and the theme was Puppies! It was really nice and everyone was happy with their puppy dog face. As you can see, I mostly painted Dalmatians as that was what the birthday girl chose but I gave her a variation on the design that she insisted no-one was allowed to copy. All the black splotches were heart shaped. She loved it. There were a few brown spaniels and even a couple of colourful fancy dog faces. I even painted one girl as a cat and she insisted that she be chased by all the puppies! Needless to say, the party was a success even if the weather was less than optimum. I painted myself with a heart eye design. Talk soon with news of Augusts acitivites ;-)
