Painting class!

I've always like to play at painting. I'm not very good but it's fun and relaxing and sometimes I even come up with something cute. I painted pictures for my grandmother to hang on the walls in the nursing home. Sweet little girly pictures like bears and skunks. I loved helping my chindren with school projects especially if there was painting involved. I even painted a seascape with a lighthouse for a friend's birthday. This wasn't any ordinary lighthouse. If you looked closely at the hills above the sea wall and the lighthouse and landscaping below, you might see a well built man with a delightful, delighfully impressive, erection (that being the lighthouse). I was very proud of my creation. Wonder what ever became of it. Let me see if I can dig some samples up. . .



When my older daughter was in college she took a drawing class. She was instructed to draw. . .er. . . . um. . . I'm not sure exactly what it was called but it had to be something creative, like a fish in a martini. That's what this is. Kind of cute, eh?

This self portrait is from several years ago. I know, most people paint their faces but I'm not most. I call this piece "pumpkins".

So I was very excited when my sister invited my daughters and me to a painting class in Birmingham at the studio of Wendy Lovoy. The class is called Sips n Strokes. The sips being of wine or your choice of whatever loosens you up to have fun. We went Friday April 20th. By the way, am I the only person in the world that doesn't know what April 20th is? If you don't know, send me a comment on this blog so I don't feel so bad. Now what were we talking. . . .oh yeah, the art class. We painted "Funky Tree".
