Well, I might actually have something to say finally. On Monday I took a great personal risk and participated in my first "real" art class. I've been so afraid to do that for fear that someone, an expert, would tell me that everything I'm doing is wrong. Turns out I've been afraid for nothing. It seems there's no right or wrong way to paint. Everyone has their own style, what's most comfortable for them, and it seems that some of the stranger methods, I thought, I've been using are not strange at all.

That's such a relief. Now I'm ticked that I didn't do this years earlier. I feel like I've learned so much even after just one lesson I can hardly wait for the next one! Our instructor, Lalita Hamill, has promised to take me right out of comfort zone, a place I'm really looking forward to finding!!

I talked to you on Sunday at the West Art show, I was in the last one, I can't stop thinking about your painting of the Star Magnolias you were working on, I wondered if you finished them? I would love to see it!! I see your taking a class, since I'm self taught with oils, I would love to take a class also. If you could let me know the details please and thank you!! Irene

Hi Irene. Thank you so much for your kind words. No I didn't manage to complete the magnolia painting. I will continue to work on it but I suspect it will probably take at least another couple of weeks maybe more. I do take an art class weekly with Lalita Hamill. Unfortunately I believe all her classes are full at the moment and will be ending for the summer in a few weeks. If you're interested I suggest you contact her personally to see what may be available in September. She's an absolutely excellent teacher and I can highly recommend her. By the way I will be posting the star magnolia painting on my website when it's complete.
