Completed!


I finished up the girls :)

I'm heading out this morning to a first communion for Dale's grandson. The sun is shining and I'm hoping for a beautiful day!

Oh, oh, oh!
I also signed up to take a 12 week painting course from Tim Gagnon!

I've watched his you tube videos for awhile now and when I saw that he's offering instruction on his technique, I just had to sign myself up! I just love learning new things.

Did anyone watch Farrah's story last night? I recorded it and am going to watch it again and again. It really makes a person think. I need to become more grateful for each and every day. Why is it I need someone to tell me this sometimes? Crazy.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
Hugs,
Darla

It came out beautiful! Wow!
I'm with you...thankful for each day. It is very difficult to believe that someone as vital as Farrah is going through such a terrible ordeal.
Your painting class sounds so fun!!!

This is beautiful, I am finding really hard to find a favorite with your art. Each one you create is more beautiful! Really lovely. Feels like a teacher and a student caring while looking at your art. Each lady looks like a caring teacher and a student who loves learning.
Have a great weekend!

Such a sweet painting...I love their faces.

You're right...I often need to be reminded to be thankful too.

Wow...I love the girls.
Yes, I watched the Farrah story. It made me cry, but more thankful for my health and everything I have.
I am excited for you and your new painting class. Can't wait to see the results!
