Kaleidoscope - November

I've now finished the last month of my on-line mixed media art class called Kaleidoscope from Willowing Arts

I've learned something from each lesson and from each teacher.

A Year of Light - Taster Sessions 11-20

I'm continuing to love the lessons I'm working through in "A Year of Light" from Willowing Arts. I learn something with each one.

I Like... (11/24)

Thank you to Leeanne of Not Afraid of Color for reminding me to notice things I like. 

I like the discovering unexpected little creatures.
I'll let this little guy keep his pepper.

I like that my Buff Kitty is so patient with our little ones.
(Honestly, he must like it... despite his expression... He could get up and leave.)
I like visiting my sister and her crafting retreat.
Women can quilt, paint, scrapbook...
On this particular visit, our craft was to sit in the rocking chairs on the porch.
Welcome Home Retreat

I like looking up from the kitchen sink to see our forest friends passing through the yard.
I love this show!!!
(Amazon Prime or YouTube)
I like October. My driveway is just spectacular.
I like these little green frogs.
I've never seen them before this year.
I like seeing the trees in the yard across the driveway.  
I like these 6 tiny humans that call us Gram-E & Pop-E.

A Year of Light - Taster Sessions 1-10

My next on-line mixed media art class is called A Year of Light from Willowing Arts

Another one? Why? 
I guess I just like being a life-long learner, and I learn something new with each lesson.











By the way...
That second one... 
As I started working on it, I thought... "This looks like 2nd-grade me!!" 
Ha ha ha ha!😁😁

Tweet! VI

This little bluebird has been my partner over the years to guide a lot of different people through their first oil painting.
Which means I've put him on canvas a bunch of times.
Yesterday I got to bring my little bluebird friend back to the canvas with these three. They thought they could never do it, but... voila! Aren't their bluebirds beautiful!
My little Tweet! VI is going to live on the wall of my good friend Wendy of Pieceful Thoughts.
The blog world is an amazing way to make friends from all over the world, friends that you know you'll never actually meet in person... unless... Unless one day you DO MEET IN PERSON!!

Kaleidoscope 2024 - October

I'm continuing to work through my on-line mixed media art class called Kaleidoscope from Willowing Arts

I'm trying to be faithful to do every single lesson even when I'm sure they're "just too hard" for me! It just proves all over again that good teachers guide their students to accomplish more and do better than they ever imagine they could.
