here's the painting I did in my first class... it was in a park, which had sooo much green - a color I'm not a fan of, but we went in the park, and put our easels up, and were told to paint any scene we saw that was interesting!.... I chose a bridge with a big tree in front and a palm in the back... with lots and lots of foliage/trees behind..... about half way thru painting, a little girl in a red shirt ran over the bridge, so of course, I had to include her...... it's my first attempt at actual painting.... not too good, but got some good pointers from my teacher!.......
.... my favortie story from this class was that there was a "famous" Tampa painter in the class, and tho he needed no instruction, he set up right behind me and my friend, who were sharing a card table to place our supplies on.... when things were done, and we all got to see each others paintings, he had not only painted the same trees/bridge, but had painted me and my friend "painting" the same thing!.... it was really special!.... LOL - I'm now imortalized in paint!
