I found myself surfing art YouTube videos instead of painting this morning.... I confess, I was actually procrastinating since I needed to unpack my supplies from Dreama Tolle Perry's 3-day workshop which ended yesterday. It is a mystery!...can anyone tell me why it is my supplies seem fairly condensed (for me) when I go to a workshop, but fill the car when I pack it to go home?
I had a wonderful time...Dreama is a fabulous artist, instructor and person. I learned so much from her my brain is officially full...at least for this week! OK, now I need to get going and finish the painting I started in class yesterday before it gets too dry. Dreama's method is wet into wet. More about Dreama's workshop tomorrow.
Challenge #11 - My Pick
Once again, it was my turn to pick the Hilton
Head Four (HH4) bi-monthly challenge. The pressure was on! I've had this photo
set aside waiting for me to paint it. I love paintings of people in water
and when I saw this young girl floating on her noodle I couldn't resist.
I love the colors in the water. Painting water seemed like it should be
fairly easy, but how do you really paint ripples in water? Just figuring
out how to approach it was a bigger challenge than I thought it would
be. I also learned the weather is wonderful in Florida in February, but the traffic is brutal and the pool
is always full of grand-kids... just say'n!

In the order of who is up next for the picks.....

| Chris Werst. |
Christ never fails to think out of "my" box. She always goes somewhere I would never think about be it her colors, cropping or style. She sent her submission to us saying she did the painting then
decided to wipe it off and start again. She decided she loved the look and kept it. It is like looking through water.
