Art classes started up a few weeks ago and I thought it would be nice to post the projects as they went along..........Unfortunately..... things haven’t been going so well.
I think I may be painting with the wrong side of my brain or something, I’m gonna have to finish reading that book. Anyway I’m either guilty of trying to hard or not hard enough. You pick it either one will ruin a painting.
The first painting is a little hand made wire Christmas tree. Things started out ok till I tried to render the pink table cloth. All I kept thinking about was the instructor saying "don’t make it look like Pepto Bismal. Well I just couldn’t get around that one, I over worked the heck out of it and now it’s sitting in the trash. The picture you see here was taken just moments before the Pepto Bismal monster killed it.

The floral painting is still a work in progress, The assignment was to paint a small study for a larger painting of 3'x4'.
