Family Art Therapy

This was week two of Family Art Therapy.  We had a much better week.  There was some laughing and even some teasing with smiles.

Tonight's theme was to draw a garden and to put ourselves in the picture.  I tried to paint a sun using the yellow paint but someone else had used it near the blue and it turned my sun green!  We decided the garden must be on another planet and because we have been listening to "Little Shop of Horrors" for the last 3 weeks decided it was Audrey II's planet.

MAC made a path and drew herself sitting on a hill staring off into space.  She also drew a fence and Hubby drew the three of us walking along the path.  I on the other hand drew a rock garden with a waterfall.  I drew myself at the top of the waterfall.

In the vein of "Little Shop of Horrors" Hubby drew a picture of Audrey II.  When MAC discussed the picture for the group all she could talk about was how blood thirsty the plant was.  We kept trying to move her on but she was fixated.  I was glad that we were the second to the last group to go because  it cut our time a little short!  At least there was some discussion about the picture.  We have not been scheduled for Family Art Therapy next week.  She has been dropped to 3 days (no Wednesday or Thursday).  That's progress right?
