You know I don't need any other projects but a local church offers classes at a very reasonable price. The program is called
OASIS - Outstanding Adults Sharing in Service. Adults proficient in arts or crafts donate their time to teach others. Last winter I took a caning class. Several weeks ago I signed up for a painting class. The class meets once a week and yesterday afternoon was my first class.
An old weathered local barn is my inspiration from a photograph I took. The scene is in late autumn so the sky is streaked gray and the grasses have turned their winter colors. The trees and barn are roughed in; there will be lots of changes before I'm finished. If you like I'll show you my progress. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Very nice, the sky looks quite cold.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks, as I recall I think it was a cold time of year when I took the photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great program to take advantage of. Yes, please share the progress of your painting!
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, and it's only about three miles from my home and I am forced to take a "break" from the clay.
ReplyDeleteOf course we want to watch the barn come along. Good start.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, thanks, old barns really appeal to me, so many metal buildings nowadays.
DeleteGreat idea, getting a different creative bent going. Good luck with the paint (acrylic?)
ReplyDeleteHi Barb, thanks, yes acrylic, in the class we can actually use both but I figured acrylic is easier clean up.
DeleteIt looks promising. Do show your progress on this one.
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, thanks, it will be nice for me to see the changes too if I document them here.
DeleteI would LOVE to see your progress. And suspect you will learn things which will help in your work and your passion for clay too.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks, Gary really does wish I had a lighter in weight art I could bring to the public and much of the time I do too.
