teaching an old gal….
New Tricks!!!!…
…a new passion? …or just another glorious distraction from housework?
Yesterday I began my first painting class.
What a charge!
My work-in-progress doesn’t look too bad from a distance. I tried to work on it a little when I got home but since I really don’t know what I’m doing {at all!}, I decided that I would wait until next week for the comfort and safety of my instructor to continue the necessary work in the foreground.
Here is the cute little vintage painting that I’m working from as my example…

I wanted to become an artist when I was in high school but that didn’t happen. To help feed my creative side I took a calligraphy class last year.
