More paintings

Wow, what a great weekend.  And today even, it’s turned out to be a great day – William took the day off – he sooooo needed it.  He ended up sleeping all day.  This morning, I went to the gallery because Kang Lee and Reveille came to get their paintings.  Their work hung in my gallery for the past two months.  Even though I talked with a few other artists about hanging their work in my gallery, I never set a date … now I have to really hustle to get artwork in here this week!  The local Fountain newspaper is coming out with an article about us next week and it just won’t do to have no artwork on the walls!   I sent out a few e-mails, so I hope something pans out soon! 

I went to painting class at Neil’s this afternoon and had a wonderful time.  I thanked him (and the church) for sponsoring me to go on this wonderful women’s retreat this weekend.  I am so glad he mentioned it last week!  We worked on those monochromatic paintings again … today we did two rather than one at a time.  It makes sense, because after I got home and compared what I did today to what I did last week, even my technique changed, as well as the colors, so in order to do a triptych like we intended, we have to do all three at once.  I’ll be working on that this week.  The two I did today, I don’t like as well – I wanted to put in a few rocks, no I realized I put in too many, except in one area I have to go in and add more, it looks bare there, since I added so many rocks in the other areas.  Oh well, I’m learning and that’s the whole point.  Great practice.
