Uncle Gerry- the Mountain Man

The Mountain Man--as he is known in his studio-Gerry Granger and his wife Sharon, 
came to the States for a visit. 

Keno's Uncle Gerry is a painter, oil painter that is.
He has been painting for about 20 years.
He went to his first class with some friends and never quit.
Turns out he is quite good ---and you know what? 
He has another talent, too.
He has enough patience to teach.
After about 3 years of learning he took on his first students and he never quit that, either.

He is very generous. He gave most of his paintings away.

I have really enjoyed getting to know them more and especially for the kids to 
know their {Great}Aunt and Uncle.
The best part is that he brought his paints with him to give all beginners a starter lesson!

Sadie and I had a great time with Gerry in Grandma and Grandpa Granger's garage.
We learned some simple techniques with a Monochromatic color scheme.

Sadie just asked if we could go to Uncle Gerry's home for another lesson! 
We'll work on that...

Thank you!!

Sadie's is pink and I did the blue.
