Folk Art painting

This time, I went to Art class with Nancy. There were three of us, so Laura the instructor was able to give us some one-on-one.  When we didn't like how something turned out, she had some good pointers and remedies.

The pear was primed with yellow and then we could paint the edges with the one-stroke technique (two colors on one brush.)  The grapes were primed with white and I had to go over them a couple of times because the colors weren't right.  The leaves were primed with white, too, and I painted them on my first try, woo-hoo!

It's just a little bit late for Pi day, 03/14.

Laughing Unicorn

I found a rock in the backyard to use as my "gratitude rock" where every time I touch this rock, I'm going to think of something that I'm grateful for.  I looked at it and saw the image of a laughing unicorn.  It also makes me think of the last therapy session where Tiffany had me go as fast as I could on the elliptical. She said, "You're a runner. When is the last time you ran?  That's what your capable of."  I pictured myself as Secretariat and just ran and ran. Or as a laughing unicorn.
