Song - Painting Pictures - Adele
A morning of painting is usually like meditation for me. Especially if I can get into that "zone".
This morning I went to my favorite painting class and that was just what this girl needed.
Our teacher, Marcy Wheeler creates a wonderful supportive, fun environment that also encourages us to step outside our comfort zone.
Some are more willing than others.

(I tend to be a little "pokey" in that department.)
Today, I brought in my Sergio Romo painting and although I thought it was close to being finished, there were several suggestions made that really improved the painting. As soon as I add all of the raindrops, I will post it for you.
Everyone in the class is at a different level and each has their own personal style but each of us respects that style and each other.
At the end of class we all participate in a critique of our current work.

I have been painting with Marcy for 6 1/2 years now. She still amazes me with her insight into art, design and life!
Thank you to the Thursday morning painting group and especially Marcy!
