Painting Workshop Photos

Here are some photos from last Sunday's art workshop in Millenium Park, Chicago.
Despite of the rain forecast, the painting workshop had a great turnout.

More than sixty (adults and kids) participated in the workshop.

The busy budding artists.

I gave Dawson, age 9 instructions and he did great!

Little artists ages 3, 5, 7 painted away.

Giving the little artists freedom to express themselves.

Artists from age 1 to 63 came and tried their hands on painting.

Listening to artist's instructions.

Families paint together.

Some families came all the way from Wisconsin, Michigan and Florida
to attend the free painting workshop.
