Time Flies

It is now November 18 and as time flies so do opportunities to post on this blog, which I have let pass by for months.
 
I have been working at painting. I did several en plein aire pieces during the summer months, and I attended a painting workshop taught by artist Kenn Backhaus of "Palette and Passport" fame.  It was fun, somewhat productive, and a nice little trip away from home. In August I began classes in Art at Keystone College and Marywood University.  For many months prior to this  I had felt that I needed to learn more about color theory(taking that at Keystone) and that a Figure Drawing class (at Marywood) would enhance the quality of my paintings. I am now nearing the end of these classes and I must say that I have learned much from both teachers(Judi Keats and Steve Alexander, respectively) and that I have had a wonderful time to boot. I have become interested in painting portraits, and I am going to continue with painting classes at Marywood. I will post some of my work from fall semester classes soon.

In addition, I finished two small paintings last spring and early summer.  My painting of Olle and Maria's house is now complete, and also Milking Time, Waiting Her Turn(AnnMarie's Goat) is complete.
