What's New in 2013

Nothing much to post about.  Last postable painting was the Yellow Crowned Night Heron. I gave it to my daughter's flute teacher.  I did post it on Facebook in it's not quite finished form.  If any one is interested, I will post it here.

I have been taking a painting class at the local Art Association.  I felt I needed to be in a class to get out of my "slump".  So I am taking this Old Masters painting class and it is a love/hate thing.  It is much tighter than I usually paint and I must say that I suck.

Nancy, was a watercolor teacher of mine some 15-18 years ago.  She is very good at this but it is not my thing.  Still I find the challenge enticing.   I've learned some nifty things and I might do a little more of this.
If nothing else, it will help me to teach my students.

On another note, I am going to start a new blog for my Photo 2 students.  I will post some photos for them to look at and critique.  (I might be visiting some blogs for these).  I will also be requiring them to create their own photo blogs to post and critique each other.   So please visit them if you think about it.  More details to follow.

I would love to see your painting! As far as artistic slumps go, I've had quite a few over the years. Last year when my daughter got married, I didn't paint much since I was always busy with that. It's not easy getting back into it! I think I need to go to the Art Institute of Chicago to get some inspiration. Let us know how your class goes!

Thanks Janelle,

It's good to hear some encouraging words. I am also "between" computers and have to find that pic! Organization is another one of my faults at times.

Love to see the heron, Neetzy. I posted my own night heron a week or so ago, so it's only fair that you reciprocate. Hee hee.

Okay Dive, Just for you! I did post it on Facebook. I am between computers again so I'll either have to get on the old one and post or find some editing software on this new one that is acceptable!
