THE ART DATE!
Beka works part time, and when she is off, she has an office in the Team Oakley home that lets her exercise her creative bones whenever possible. This usually consists of sewing and repurposing fabrics into new lives of their own. She has all sorts of fine art supplies as well, but that is not her go to. She is not the best at the fine art stuff. And Michael works full time from home, and as far as creative bones go, his are well exercised from being a worship arts pastor. He does music, arranging, video filming and editing, photoshop, and many more things of that area that I am so inexperinced on, I would probablly call them the wrong thing. Unlike Beka he is EXTREMELY talented at the fine arts, but usually does not have the time/space to get everything out get going.
So Beka Made some time, and got all of their fine art supplies out, along with their canvases, and lots of newspaper. She put on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and forced the both of them to become artists for the day.
For Christmas this year Michael got Bob Ross's the joy of painting set (you know, the happy trees hippy guy on PBS). We brought that out to use the supplies as well.
Here is our studio for the day!
And here are the canvases.
And the supplies. We have spray, tempera, oil, acrylic, pastels, and water color to choose from. And a wall cross that must have fallen from the wall into our paint basket. I did not notice that until now :)
Here is Mr. Michael's blank canvas! Beka's looked the same.
We painted and painted and laughed and laughed. We loved the hours we spent together being artsy. Here are the finished products:

It was such a great date, one that we will surely be doing again very soon.
If you have some art supplies, no matter how nice or how professional, bust them out! Get someone you love to be creative and goofy with you. You will surely have a good time.
Thanks for sharing the time with us!
Team Oakley
