THEN YOU CAN ALSO BRING PEACE TO OTHERS.

Painting I did in my art class

Todays entry has nothing to do with papercrafts, but I do have another love and that is art.  My daughter and I have been taking art classes since last September.  We started off with sketching, then acrylic paint and this last piece I did, which is a study of Lawren Harris is done in oils.  This one took me ages to do and if you look closely will see there is quite a bit of work done with a palette knife.  I have a few other pictures I will post soon, but I am pretty proud of this effort.  Next year I start painting from my own photos so they will then be original, instead of studies.

Hope you enjoy

  2. I love this painting, Michele! Such a serene landscape. My mother and sister both painted and now they are both gone. Since I inherited their paints, easels and other supplies, I feel compelled to try my hand at it but I can't afford lessons right now and I'm not sure an attempt without them would be a worthwhile endeavor. I can't tell that you have only been painting a few months! You definitely have a talent for it. Thanks for sharing this piece with your readers.

    Hugs,
