Lighthouse painting

My first landscape, a lighthouse, on my largest canvas, 8 x 12 inches. My aunt Deb says, "I love the SKY and the lighthouse brown streaks (which the realist in me says is rust) but it reminds me of Birch wood."

The realist in me says that first step out the door must be a doozy!

Purple Orchids

    

I painted some greeting cards on Saturday afternoon.  They were purple orchids from the latest worksheets I purchased from Laura, my instructor/teacher/mentor.

Later, I opened my mail.  We got a card from my parents for our anniversary.  Freaky!
