I know they don't all participate, but I never in my life dreamed we would have had this many sign ups after only one year. It is so exciting!

I managed to score two directors chairs...wooden, but light weight for me (thanks to a year and half of strength training) for $60 a couple of weeks ago and let me tell you! I had no idea what I was missing! I definitely prefer to stand and the stools I have are good if I'm sitting and the child is sitting or if I'm painting an adult! Slowly but surely, I'm getting myself together! I got my insura...

Here is a pic of my latest practice, please critique, I am still having trouble blending the colors seamlessly.

I was practice painting at home today. I had a cup of tea sitting at the table with me and, you guessed it, wet my brush in my cup of tea. I didn't realize it at first, until I looked in my cup and there was a swirl of blue.
