Of course, we saw all the highlights. I've posted other art here on the blog. Here's some art from a stop in Philadelphia . And of course, I've posted about the art at Disney. Here's one shot from the Polynesian . But, we also spent quite a bit of time in the kids artist's studio where the kids and I used crayons, markers, colored pencils to make some original art. Here's my still life featuring a blue flower in a red vase on a small table. I call it: Blue flower/red vase. Back in the aughts, I spent quite some time in my parent's basement working with acrylics and doing some painting. Mostly on the weekends, while listening to some of my record collection. It was really a therapeutic experience for me and something I did to express myself. The medium was always paint and because I didn't have time or money for canvas, I mostly used manilla folders. Or...frankly...half of manilla folders...
