First Art Class Is Tonight
Tonight Ian and I are taking our first art class together: basic drawing. We are both very excited about it for two reasons. We get to make art, which we so rarely get to do, and learn new things. And we get to do it together without our kids along. It is a little bit of just-us time that we haven’t had in so long. We used to do things like this together before our children came along (fencing, jiu-jitsu, workouts at the gym, watercolor painting, etc.). It’s almost like a date!
We have lovely new art supplies in a neat little box. Two of each item.
I hope the class is cool because we’re signed up for four nights of drawing and the school has many more classes that all sound very interesting, including watercolor painting, pastels, and oil painting, which is something I’ve never done before.
My dearest hope is that this experience will unlock and clear some of the stuffiness and frustration we sometimes experience in our daily work/family grind, and bring some more flow (of ideas, movement, creativity, romance) into our relationship. I feel giddy.

This sounds like such a great idea. I hope it leads to mucho bonding and creative expression. When you guys are ready to work from a live nude model give me a call 😉

I think that it is fantastic that you two are making the time to do this. I can’t imagine it is easy to do. I look forward to seeing art… and smiles.
