Had a wonderful day yesterday. I attended an Itty-Bitty Acrylic Painting Workshop taught by my artist friend, Mary Santos. I had done one last year, so this was my second attempt at painting. We had a great time! The other participants, Shirley and Jeannie, were much more skilled than I, and were generous with helpful hints and compliments at my beginner abilities. Mary is the consumate teacher -- I always learn so much from just talking with her about techniques. Last year I had done a sunflower, so this year I attempted a landscape. I had so much fun that I have decided to take a drawing class from Mary later this month. I feel the spirit of my mother moving through me -- she did some beautiful paintings after my father died -- and I'm enjoying the exploration of my artistic side.
