Maryann did a picture of her daughter, Tianna
Stunning!
Charlene did her son, Bradley.
Charlene lost her husand and son 3 years ago this weekend in a tragic plane crash

this was a very meaningful rendition for her.
Charlene did it more than justice.
Look at how the plaid shirt is coming!!!
Incredible!!!
Sandi did her husband who is making good recovery from a stroke.
She decided it to try it in an abstract way using prints
It is going to be awesome!
Trudi did a friends baby.
She sent a pic of the process and her friend recognized him so she is on the right track!!
I decided to do my mother in law, Marie (Cossette) Marcotte
This was taken for the Estevan Fair poster when she was 16.
I showed Marie and she knew it was her!
There are more to show but I will post them when they finish theirs!
Thank you ,Valerie and all those who came!
It was a great weekend!!

Wow, what a fun, creative class. I beg the fair poster was made by King Show Print which was Bob's family's business.
ReplyDeleteThat will be interesting to know. I will ask her more about it!
