Just Painting
With just a few weeks left before I need to switch my focus back to teaching, I am trying something new with painting. It’s always exciting to try something new – watching the first shapes and colours form, liking them, building on top. I think that I will skip my blog post for tomorrow, and hope to have something new to show you by Thursday. Happy painting to my artist friends – hope you may try something new too! And a happy St. Paddy’s Day to all.
