Duke Painting With Alexandre Renoir = Priceless. @Mastercard #Priceless #LA #MC


Our satARTday in Los Angeles started with Duke taking an art class taught by French Impressionist Renoir's great grandson Alexandre Renoir.  Take that in for a moment.  A descendant from one of our great painters Pierre-Auguste Renoir to teach my 7 year old son their wet-on-wet technique.  This was huge for our family because my husband Chris is an artist and fine arts major.  We regularly take our family on trips to museums, galleries and art shows.  The bigs actually just asked us last weekend if we could visit LACMA.  I honestly couldn't believe they asked, it was a proud parenting moment for sure.  Art is everywhere in our home - We are surrounded by my photographs, my husband's paintings, originals and prints we've purchased over the years...  Art is ingrained in our lives.    

If I could buy my way into VIP everything, I would.  Not all of us have the luxury of being invited to coveted events but when you have MasterCard, you can have tacos & tequila with Chef Bobby Flay, get the best seats in the house at Dodger Stadium or have your child paint with Alexandre Renoir.  Experiences like these are Priceless.

Priceless LA is amazing.  I regularly check the site to see if MasterCard added new experiences I can be apart of.  Signing up is free (and easy!)  The next class Alexandre Renoir is teaching happens in September, it is only $25 and ALL proceeds are donated to the Children of War Charity.

It is amazing the legacies we create for our families.  Renoir's paintings hang in Galerie Michael right next to his great grandson Alexandre Renoir's paintings.

A Priceless moment is when Alexandre Renoir noticed Duke painted Minecraft and told us the story about how his 6 year old son loves Minecraft too!  Duke was impressed!

That looks like so much fun! Renoir is one of my impressionist faves too--how neat to meet his great grandson.

This is amazing. I wish I could've done that as a child... or as an adult! What a memory!

I've signed up for Priceless NYC but need to be better about checking the site for updates. What a phenomenal experience this seems to have been and such a great fit for your artistic family! Also, it has to be said, that once again your photos are fantastic.
