We always try to capture an event with photos of artists intent on their work, snapshots of guests relaxing with friends, or that group picture to finish off our painting time. Each time, I get to look back on what these girls saw and experienced while I was teaching, but rarely do I get them in a picture!

So clearly this is a photograph worth treasuring… we were all together, amazingly in one spot, living the moment! Okay, we were probably sweaty from working the event, but that’s part of it, and who wouldn’t love having friends who bust a move to set up easels, tote paint, and chat with guests in ways that help encourage them in their art moments? My big Sienna Joy events have their own flair because of the hard work of these ladies and I couldn’t be more thankful for them!
