Where
does the time go? I have to get better at posting consistency.
Hopefully made up in part with painting day yesterday. Fixed the daffodil nightmare from last Thursday’s
class, repaired the silver creamer damage (see Friday March 8),
and painted some beloved radishes. In class, I learned
that if something goes off the canvas, then something else should as well. The daffodil’s just would not cooperate with
the 6x6 panel, so off the canvas we went – how liberating! The radishes were jealous, so I said – off the
canvas with you as well!
Today
was special in that I visited another beautiful farm in Middleburg Virginia. I’ve met a few more classmates closer to
where I live, but this lovely lady comes all the way from Middleburg to take classes
with us. We painted in her very modern “barn”. It actually is a working barn with horses,
hay, cats. . . . However, this barn also
had a full-scale kitchen, office, exercise room, “the works” and two gorgeous, but
camera shy, cats.
So
here we go with the paintings – I’ll spare you the details about
what we painted at the barn for now. Quite different
and challenging. BTW, if I don’t bring
it up again – don’t ask! Will work on it some more tomorrow, and hope for the best.

| Radish Club I love everything about radishes - touch, taste, subtle highlights. . . and yes these have already been eaten! |
