I worked on this one for an hour yesterday and today I spent 30 minutes on the second (still have a half hour to go). I remember when I first started taking this class and thought I would never be able to paint. I'm not saying I can paint now but there is a small resemblance to the picture in my last post.<div>Tomorrow I will be going to my sister Connie for a visit, really looking forward to it. I try to see her (and her husband Steve) at least once a month, it too easy these days to drift apart from family & friends.</div>KAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18089042680629451922noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624139495022523962.post-10904415096489687242009-12-07T17:31:00.000-08:002009-12-09T19:35:56.112-08:00<div>Wow this last week went fast. Went to Pastel class today and had a great time. All of last years ladies were back and it felt like family. We are work on a forty picture project (Mud Pies), each of us must do 2 paintings a week of the same image, but each of us has selected a different picture to reproduce. I started out behind because I missed the first two weeks and then this last week I helped Mom with her craft show. I have promised to be caught up by next week (must have six paintings completed) and I think I can do it. Oh yea, we are suppose to complete each in 45 minutes to an hour. Below is the image I have selected for my 40. I will be adding a post for each my attempts.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_edeMQ2gpLjE/Sx2xPVbzjyI/AAAAAAAAAB4/ZhZqCm0mNLg/s1600-h/Pastel-40-Orginal.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_edeMQ2gpLjE/Sx2xPVbzjyI/AAAAAAAAAB4/ZhZqCm0mNLg/s320/Pastel-40-Orginal.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412677204179128098" /></a>KAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18089042680629451922noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624139495022523962.post-51542009904292548702009-11-30T18:53:00.000-08:002009-11-30T19:17:17.435-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_edeMQ2gpLjE/SxSKg7YvGMI/AAAAAAAAABg/CxSh1RqrJXM/s1600/Montana-Skies.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 221px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_edeMQ2gpLjE/SxSKg7YvGMI/AAAAAAAAABg/CxSh1RqrJXM/s320/Montana-Skies.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410101350680697026" /></a><div><br /></div><div>Well Pastel Class was good today. New member to the group Judy, looks like she has got some skills and is just looking into a new medium. Barbara Jo as expected had a number of beautiful images she had worked on this last week (talked her into giving me a couple to try and sell for her the week). Not to disappoint Anita (Stoll) our instructor/teacher/mentor/friend had an interest assignment for us to do in our off class time. She saw an article in the Pastel Journal where a woman had done the same picture 100 times. Each was done in 40 minutes and using different color schemes. The images were amazing and let her use different styles, techniques, & colors, very freeing. We are now to do the same but to a smaller degree, 40 pictures, two a week. The task is a little scary but I am there to learn. This may lead one day to some real skill ;~)</div>KAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18089042680629451922noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624139495022523962.post-21480781140184070152009-11-29T15:41:00.000-08:002009-11-29T15:44:40.840-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_edeMQ2gpLjE/SxMG1XKzAkI/AAAAAAAAABY/kXweMfrgL44/s1600/0112091142a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_edeMQ2gpLjE/SxMG1XKzAkI/AAAAAAAAABY/kXweMfrgL44/s320/0112091142a.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409675091224232514" /></a>Three days since Thanksgiving and I'm not tried of turkey yet.<div><br /><div>The days and definitely the nights are getting colder (25 degrees last night).</div><div><br /></div><div>I going to a pastel painting class tomorrow morning & I'm looking forward to it.

I don't know why but this year I couldn't wait for Thanksgiving. Usually during the holidays I feel stressed out and don't want to to be part of it. This time through I cooked most of the meal and just enjoyed myself (have I broken some secret code?). The only thing amiss was not enough family. Connie & Steve were not feeling well and Mark & Amanda went to Mark's Mom's and Patti stayed home too exhausted from Nursing School. Maybe for Christmas we will have a bigger crowd. <div>Some of you may be wondering why a new blog? I don't know, maybe it just easier when your not writing the code yourself and going through the publishing process. we'll see how long this lasts.</div>KAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18089042680629451922noreply@blogger.com0
